Unfortunately the manufacture and preparation of food is not always perfect, which means that in rare instances foreign objects such as pebbles or glass may find their way into your meal. If you are injured by a foreign object in your food, whether it is the fault of the manufacturer of the ingredients or the food preparer, you may be able to sue for your injuries.

If you do find an unexpected object in your food, you may be able to sue for your injuries. Typical injuries that the courts award damages for include:

• Cuts in the mouth and throat and damaged teeth.
• Illness due to ingestion of the object.

If you have been injured by a foreign object in your food there are certain things you can do to help your lawsuit:

• If possible, keep the object that actually caused you injury.
• Proof or witnesses that can verify that the food was prepared by the other party, such as a restaurant, caterer or manufacturer, and was not tampered with by anyone else.
• Medical and dental records that show the injury was not present before the incident.
