Lord_Benjew: How to ask a restaurant to pay for my medical bills?
I went to a restaurant on Sunday with my girlfriend. At the restaurant I ordered medium rare steak and french fries with some broccoli, and my girlfriend had some BBQ ribs and frenc fries.
After we ate, I took her back to her place and I went straight home. When I went home I had a fever of 102 and I have headaches. So, I didn’t took anything but tylenol and went to sleep. On monday I still feel very nauseated and have really bad headaches. In the afternoon I started to vommit and have another high fever. I tried to eat small food and I can’t because I kept vomitting it back. This continues on to tuesday morning and afternoon while I was in school. After I got back from school I finally vomitted again this time with blood. I finally went to the emergency room.
So, I know that I got sick right after I ate at that restaurant and i couldn’t eat anything afterwards because I kept vomitting. What should I tell the restaurant so that they pay the medical bills from the ER?

You will need a lawyer. He will charge you more than the emergency room cost.
My daughter got food poisoning when vacationing this past summer after eating at a nice restaurant. We spent 10 hours in the ER because of vomiting and diarrhea. Diarrhea is part of it. No fever and no headache was involved. The doctor said with food poisoning that the normal time for symptoms to start is 6 hours after eating. That is the normal time he said. We did notify the restaurant and the health department but we did not ask them to pay the bill. I don’t think you have a case of food poisoning. Sounds like you had a stomach virus. Don’t expect the restaurant to pay the bill.
