: Chicago Injury Attorney BlogChicago Personal Injury Lawsuits Filed Against McDonald?s and Chipotle Over Food Injuries
A Northlake mother is suing McDonald?s for Chicago personal injury on her daughter?s behalf. Vicki LaRocco claims that her daughter sustained serious burn injuries on April 28, 2009 because the hot chocolate she ordered was placed in a cup with an improperly secured lid. The drink order was placed at the drive-through window at a McDonald?s in Schiller Park.
LaRocco says that the chocolate liquid spilled onto her daughter?s leg, causing severe pain and scarring. She contends that McDonald?s should have known that the hot chocolate was too hot to drink. LaRocco is seeking an unspecified amount of damages for Chicago injuries to her child.
Restaurants can be held liable for Chicago injury if their food or drink causes serious injury or death to a customer. Food poisoning, burn injuries from hot liquids, Salmonella, and other injuries caused by foreign objects in food are examples of injuries and illnesses that have been grounds for such cases.
Recently, Robert Miner filed a Chicago, Illinois personal injury complaint against Chipotle Mexican Grill because he claims that he was served and ate a burrito that contained a black metal wire on September 61, 2008.
The 2-inch piece pierced his throat and he had to undergo surgery to have it removed. Miner is also suing the licensees and owners of the Chipotle that is located on East Ontario Street. He is seeking an unspecified amount of damages.
In other food injury news, Philip Hodousek and his wife have settled their personal injury case with Claim Jumper Restaurants for an undisclosed amount. Hodousek sued the restaurant chain because he ended up chewing on a used condom that had been floating in his French onion soup. The couple said the incident caused them emotional distress and they worried that Hodousek might have caught a disease from the prophylactic, which contained traces of female DNA.
