Legal Question in Consumer Law in Massachusetts
Sandwich damaged my tooth
Last week I bought a sanwich at a good name super market. The sandwich has unpitted olive cores inside. It damaged my front tooth. I brought it to the store and showed to manager. He said he would file a report. What should I do next ...

Re: Sandwich damaged my tooth
The logical next things to do would be:
1) Visit your dentist asap and get photos, x-rays, treatment, and an estimate of the costs related to "restoring" the tooth.
2) Determine the claims procedure for the store.
3) Send a certified (return receipt requested) letter to them asking for re-imbursement of your losses. Include copies of your documentation (not necessarily the photoes or x-rays). Send to store manager and store claims adjuster.
4) Await the store's reply.
5) Contact a lawyer to asssist you or sue in small claims yourself if you are not fully satisfied with the outcome.

Hi -
I am glad you kept the sandwich. Do NOT speak to any insurance company! Feel free to call my office if you would like to talk this one out. Thanks.
