Legal Question in Personal Injury in California
Food Allergy / Restaurant Negligence
I recently experienced an allergic reaction to shellfish during dinner at a very prominent hotel chain. Before eating the entree, I explicitly asked the catering Manager if it contained any shellfish. He assured me that it did not. What type of action can I take against the hotel. Their third party adminstrators have just sent me a letter asking that I call them to ''discuss'' the incident.
Thank you

Of course it'll be your word against the waiter's word, unless you have witness(es). I'd call the claim adjuster back and tell him what your bills are to date. And how much you want to settle the matter.
Re: Food Allergy / Restaurant Negligence
The legal action you can take against the hotel can include medical bills, wage loss (if any) and pain & suffering. You can contact the claim administrator to see what their position is at this time and what further information or investigation they would need to conclude the matter. If you had medical bills and missed work, you would need to send them copies of your bills and other verification of any other losses. After discussing the matter with them and if yu feel your claim will have more than a nominal value, you may want to arrnage a free consultation with a personal injury attorney in the geographic area where the hotel is located.
If the incident took place in the Orange County area, I would be glad to speak with you at no charge. Contact me at 714-963-5123. Thank you, Sam M. Eagle, 10101 Slater Avenue, Suite #218, Fountain Valley, Ca 92708. Web Address: www.eaglelaw007.com
