Legal Question in Personal Injury in Illinois
Bit into bone in sandwich from chain restaurant
While eating a chicken sandwich from a McDonald's restaurant I bit into a bone and had to go to dentist. The pain lasted two days, dentist is waiting 2 more weeks for final decision as to damage to tooth. I filled out report at the McDonald's and photographed the bone fragment. I expect the restaurant to pay for dentist bill, but what about lost day at work? What kind of settlement should I accept? thank you.

Yes, if this were a lawsuit, wages you lost as the natural and probable consequence of negligence would be recoverable. That doesn�t answer your second question which is �what kind of settlement should I accept?�
I recommend you heal first, then consider what the costs of your injury are. Remember too, if you hold out for more than the case is worth, you�ll need to sue to recover. That means time, aggravation, expenses of suit (including expert witness fees, etc.) and the cost/share for your lawyer.
