Do you mean a case against the cell phone company? Maybe, but unless you can show some harm that you or your daughter suffered as a result of the company's negligence, it may be too small to be worth bringing in a traditional court. Small claims court might be more appropriate.

I realize that what happened is distressing. You might be able to win a small judgment for that distress, but probably not enough to justify anything more than a small claims case.

I might see things differently if I had more facts.
