can i sue a restaurant for injury to a tooth that i had to end up getting extracted?

You can sue but you may or may not have proof problems. Did you report the problem? Did the food place fill out a report? Do you have the bb?

Lots of questions. Contact a lawyer in your locale. Most good personal injury lawyers will give you a free consultation.

Good luck to you.

Get a lawyer and do not post any information online because of self-incrimination rights. What you post online is subject to no protections, no privacy and no privileges. You have rights against criminal self-incrimination and the subject matter you are writing about poses potentially serious problems for you.

Get a lawyer, remain silent, and do not post any further potentially incriminating information. The attorney-client relationship you create will be privileged and you can speak freely without self incrimination problems.

I handled a case like this once. Client bit into pasta which contained a piece of wood, cracked a tooth, lost it, had to have an implant. These things happen and the restaurant is strictly liable. If it's a substance which might be expected to show up in the food, like a piece of shell in a dish containing nuts, sometimes the restaurant has a defense. For a bb, that's not a defense.

You should contact a lawyer who handles personal injury cases. Your local bar association may be able to refer you. Act quickly so you don't miss the statute of limitations in your state for this kind of claim.

Good luck.
