Dayton, TX Personal Injury Law Firms & Lawyers

Whether you should sue Sonic for finding a roach in your burger is up to you.  In a lawsuit, you may recover the damages you sustained as a result of the acts or omissions of Sonic or its employees.  Your burger was a non-conforming good because a reasonable trier of fact is highly likely to conclude that you ordered a hamburger without a roach.  Because Sonic delivered a non-conforming hamburger with a roach, you are entitled to receive a refund of the price you paid for the hamburger.  If the presence of the roach caused you to sustain other compensible damages--for example medical expenses, lost wages from your job, etc.--you likely can recover those damages as well.It is highly unlikely any reasonable experienced attorney would accept such a claim on a contingency fee.  So, you will likely need to pay the attorney an hourly fee for services in your case.
