Can I sue McDonald's?
    #11826466 - 01/14/10 12:39 AM (14 years, 2 months ago)

So I went to pick up bud with a friend tonight cause my normal guy wasn't answering. We got the bud, smoked some and it was :vaped: then we headed out.

ANYWAYS

I stopped by McD's to get some late night munchy food, got a double 1/4 pounder and medium fry (cause I already had a bottled coke from earlier). I FUCKING CHIPPED MY TOOTH ON SOMETHING IN THE DOUBLE QUARTER POUNDER. Let me repeat that. I FUCKING CHIPPED MY TOOTH ON SOMETHING IN THE DOUBLE QUARTER POUNDER.

I felt something weird in my bite and I was like "that didn't feel right" :someguy: I then fished out a small bit about the size of a pencil tip.

I finished the food cause I was nearly done and just thought maybe the bite felt weird and that was all. But upon closer inspection of the bit, and the combination of a newly found sharp indenture on my tooth, it's definitely part of my tooth.

Fortunately I had a newly bought *clean* vial to put the bit of my tooth in. I tongued around for a while thinking it was the back outside corner of my 1 tooth (upper right last tooth). I found that there is a sharp indenture on the back inner corner of that tooth which was not there before.

I'm trying to figure out what to do now. Clearly, never eat at McD's again. But I don't have insurance. I'm going to file a complaint with them, maybe they'll pay for my dentist bills.

I just sent an email off to them saying pretty much what I said above, sans the first paragraph. I included the following picture as well as a scan of my receipt:


What should I do? Do you guys think I can get some money? Or at least get my dental bills paid?

As fun as it would be to get money get paid, all I'm really lookin for is if I have to get dental work done, that they'll pay for it.

Yeah, I guess you gotta fix your teefs. Know what it was in the burger? I could have been a bit of bone from the ground up "meat".

healthy enamel is very strong your tooth may have been decayed and therefore prone to fracture regardless of what you bite into. I wirked ina dental office for three years a few times patients asked us this same question.. Whether they can sue a fast food place for a broken tooth. No dentist I've ever worked for would be on your side. I'd say it's a argument to win. People break they're teeth on acrylic metal porcelain whatever but not usually processed bone or cartilidge

And this is exactly why I posted on the shroomery's. You never know who is actually on the boards, and where they've been in their lives.

Thank you for your answer

Unless you have the burger, no. They take complaints VERY seriously. Be nice to the person that calls you, because believe me. They will call you. It may be some cheap corporate shit hole, but they take any kind of inquiry very seiously.

Chances are you won't get anything but a coupon to a meal and a salad.

I just called McD's and filed a complaint. It was fairly easy and quick actually getting a human being. She was polite and took all my info. Hopefully I'll be hearing back from them soon.

Yeah, once I left feedback about an experience I had at a store on their website and I received thank you emails and two calls. Along with coupons to any store for the meal of my choice and a premium salad.

I think as long as whatever you say sounds believeable, they will give you free shit.

My experience was just me trying to help some supervisor out. I ordered one burger and he saw me waiting for a "longer than normal" amount of time and so he called me over and asked what I ordered. Found out I only ordered one burger that should have already been completed. He gave me free fries apologized and that was it. So I got a glimpse of his name tag "herbert" lol.... and well I mentioned the experience in the e-mail and how I was pleased by the way he handled business.

I wasn't complaining about the wait at all, but I told them the exact situation and they were very happy to hear from me. I can only imagine how many angry people they have to talk to on a daily basis... being a worldwide company and all...

Maybe, but they might go with the ol' "Seriously? It's McDonald's. You should be happy it was meat." defense.

So as if to taunt me even more, I looked at the bag from last night, and this is what it says:

"Every bite is pure joy. Why do you get so much pleasure out of a McDonald's hamburger? Because we put such pure beef into it. Always 100% pure beef. 0% anything else."

You might not be familiar with the "Eggshell Plaintiff Doctrine"

"A defendant who has caused damages in a tort is liable for those injuries proximately caused.  However, the tortfeaser “takes the victim as he finds him.”  What this means is that if the plaintiff has pre-existing condition of health at the time of the accident that results in damages more serious and costly than they otherwise would have been, the plaintiff may recover those full damages."

drinking 5 cans of soda a day for 20 years isnt causally related to the negligent act of leaving a hunk of bone inside an "all beef paddy."

:kingcrankey::kingcrankey::kingcrankey:





lol! save that bag! Your ambulance chasing atty will surely try to get that on the record somehow.
the size of the metal chip would reduce your settlement. It's not like they left a quarter sized washer in the burger. Honestly that looks like kind of a small object to do some major damage.

There are two ways to get to the top of an oak tree: start climbing or sit on an acorn.

Are you a carrot, an egg, or a coffee bean?

Don't let one bad experience stop you from enjoying one of the greatest restaurants known to man. Simply go to another McDonald's establishment

That crusty brown thing is your tooth? Are you sure it wasn't decayed already... I mean, look at it. No offence and i'm not trying to be a dick, but parts of that are clearly brown unless it's just poor lighting.
