Winder, GA Personal Injury Law Firms & Lawyers

If this happened at work, you have a worker's compensation claim. If you do not already have a good workers comp attorney, go hire one. If the teeth were worn out and your employer had not replaced them, it doesn't sound to me like you could make a product liability claim against the machine. Discuss it with a good workers comp lawyer.

This sounds like a Bar exam question. The food claim = is a sale, under the Uniform Commercial Code. There are implied warranties of fitness for a particular purpose and of merchantability. Plus, the food is a product that was unreasonably dangerous, under the Products Liability Act of WA. IF you can prove the illness was from the food, the restaurant is on the hook. The slip and fall = you say a wet floor. Was it recently mopped and no warning sign put up, or just customers who spilled water on the floor, or did the toilet over run or what? There may be liability for the slip and fall. Also, with a commercial property, the insurance policy for the restaurant may have a no fault premises medical coverage. SO, if a patron is injured on the premises, the insurer for the premises will pay medical bills, no questions asked (dental too) UP TO the limit of coverage of the policy, which is like 1K, or 2K or 5K or maybe even up to 10K. Consult with a tort lawyer.

As terrible as the events you describe, so is the harshness of the statute of limitations. In most states it will range from 1 year to 6 years, here in my state you had until 2 years from the date of your 18th birthday.
