This sounds like a personal injury case.

Rather than call someone you don't know, ask friends and co-workers for suggestion for an attorney. Ideally, you will find someone (or a friend of a friend) who has successfully sued someone else for personal injury. This kind of referral is better than cold-calling a law firm you know nothing about.

Also, keep the evidence (the piece of paper) and medical records. Get the contact information for any witnesses.

What is most likely to happen, as it sounds like there was no serious injury, is that a lawyer will write to McDonald's about the case and McDonald's will offer you a settlement (an amount of money) so they don't have to pay still MORE money to get their own lawyers involved.

go to this website:

http://www.forthepeople.com

Its the biggest PI firm in the US. They will refer you to the right legal TEAM for your injuries.


Of course, nearly choking is not exactly an injury, so leave it to the lawyers to decide if you even have a case, lol

You don't need a lawyer. What were her damages and how much are they worth? Nothing, is probably the answer. Just because the lady sued McDonald's for the hot coffee doesn't mean your grandmother can get money for choking on something.

You don't need one...

She probably doesn't either unless she has been damaged somehow...

If she has been damaged, she needs a personal injury attorney.

A desperate one. Unless your grandma was seriously injured or died, no lawyer is going to take a case like this.

I think this is direct case of personal injury. You should need to contact with some lawyer who handle these kind of cases and give you better advice to make your case more strong in court. Mcdonald's is not a small firm their business is spread worldwide and famous for its quality fast food so i think it is not too much easier to handle this case on the basis of few evidences like witnesses and medical report. I suggest you Boyes And Farina of Florida they really help your grandmother to take justice from court. You contact them by visiting here http://www.boyesandfarina.com/
