Some readers suffer food poisoning as a result of eating at a particular restaurant or fast food joint. If proven, this would be a breach of an implied promise by the food outlet to serve you hygienic food. You can claim for your medical expenses, loss of income and pain and suffering. Of course, in most cases, your damages are not likely to be in the thousands of dollars or even hundreds of dollars range.
Proof is also another problem. Because we consume numerous types of food, it is difficult to know the source of any poisoning, especially since symptoms may not occur immediately. However, if several persons eating at the same place all had the same poisoning, the case becomes stronger - in other words, the greater the number of customers affected, the stronger your case. Alternatively, if enough persons fall ill, complain to the National Environment Agency which regulates food outlets. They should be able to investigate and the results of the investigation may support your case
