Im wondering if I have enough evidence to get a settlement for food poisoning: I went to a Mexican restaurant around 630pm Saturday night my food came out fast almost immediately after ordering my husbands cake out later but at 5am Sunday I work up to puking my brains out and having diarrhea I puked and pooped from 5am til 630ish when I got to the hospital and they gave me a bunch of medicine the diagnosis is viral intestinal infection and in my paper work documents it states viral versus foodbourne I have it all in documentation we are directly on day 3 and I still can’t keep anything down we went to the restaurant to show them the documents and they were in utter shock and refunded us what we paid for the meals along with the owner is gonna be contacting us to do a insurance claim they also put salmonella as the reason for refund I’m wondering is there any way I can be compensated for my pain and suffering I still can’t keep food down as of right now
Vivian’s answer: If your paperwork says viral versus food-borne, that means they did not definitely determine the source of your GI problems. That said, it’s interesting that the restaurant seemingly acknowledged salmonella, which makes me wonder if they had other complaints.You should contact your local health department. They track outbreaks and will investigate. If they are offering to make a claim with their insurance company, they are either incredibly kind-hearted or they know something you don’t. You can either let things play out on your own or involve an attorney. In the meantime, focus on your health. Hope you feel better soon!
My friend agreed to buy my boat for $8,000 he took it and never paid.: My “friend” feels that the work he did on my condo would be a fair trade. These are my assets to arrange a sale on my terms not his! This boat sale was simple $8,000 buys the boat. He took it to his home (~15 miles) sent me pics when it was in his backyard. He has had it since Aug, 2024. I’ve asked him to return it several times.
Vivian’s answer: This may be civil theft, and if so, you could be entitled to treble damages; however, you will need to provide a lawyer all the facts of your case to be sure.
How do i find a law firm in Florida who take a breach of contracts & fraud case on contingency?:
Several of us invested in an investment opportunity. The investor for most of the first year showed us via texts, emails and calls that all was going very well and we reinvested the profits. Then the investor began to delay in his responses and then went absent for several months and since then has been a constant of his disappearances and delaying tactics and excuses.
He has not paid any of us one penny on our investments. Many times we have demanded he abide by our contracts and the return of our money being the principle investment and the profits. However, he is just always with excuses and delaying tactics and broken promises. The evidence shows he is scamming us and trying to run out the Statute of Limitations as I found out it is 5 years, so that means if we dont file a lawsuit within 1.5 years then we will lose our money.
We have written contracts and verbal agreements (which we understand are valid contracts in Florida) with him. And we have numerous emails, texts, voicemails to prove everything.
Vivian’s answer: I am sorry you have found yourself in this situation. I would be happy to discuss your situation. I am well-versed in financial fraud.
