Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Arkansas
restaurant negligence
While dining at a nationwide ''casual dining'' restaurant, a member of our family sucked a sliver of glass into their mouth through their straw. They were able to catch it on their tongue and remove it before swallowing.
When shown to our waiter, we were offered a free dessert, which we declined.
We called for the manager, who gave us a business card with a note on the back for 50.00 of food/drink at only that location. The manager kept the sliver of glass.
(Our bill that night was 85.00).
After reflection, the 50.00 card is worthless, because we have no desire to dine at that location again, based on what happened.
What is our legal position at this point?

Re: restaurant negligence
Your best recourse is to never eat there again. You may have a very difficult time proving that the resturant did anything negligent. How did the glass get there? How long had it been there? Who put/caused it to be there? You may never be able to answer any of those questions. Also you have no damages. Even if you proved that the resturant was negligent somehow, you do not have any medical bills, no pain, no suffering, no damages of anykind. As a lawsuit, your case is worthless. As a stroke of luck that nobody was hurt...priceless. Thank God and get on with your life.
