If the restaurant was negligent in preparing your food, you do have the right to sue them for food poisoning. But you will need to show that negligence caused your foodborne illness. This can become tricky because you will need evidence that the restaurant or one of its employees had acted in a negligent manner that caused you to become ill. This is why it’s important to speak to our food poisoning lawyers. We can speak to eyewitnesses and, if available, recover any video footage from the restaurant that will show when and how the negligence occurred.
