Madera, CA Personal Injury Law Firms & Lawyers

Yes you have a case because the foreign substance is just that foreign to a meat patty. Hopefully you have a witness that saw all of this occur or you immediately reported it while you were bleeding and they took a written report. They will be responsible for you dental expense and for pain and suffering. It's not a huge case but certainly has value. You can handle on your own by contacting the store manager and asking them to contact their insurance carrier to in turn contact you. They will undoubtedly take advantage of you not having an attorney though, but you get to keep 100% of whatever they offer you. It's all negotiable. If you hire an attorney he or she will likely want 1/3 of the recovery plus any costs. I recommend you shop around with several attorneys and get their opinion on the value. They will want to know your dental expense and any other tangible losses (e.g., missed work).
