Oglethorpe, GA Personal Injury Law Firms & Lawyers

This sounds like a Bar exam question. The food claim = is a sale, under the Uniform Commercial Code. There are implied warranties of fitness for a particular purpose and of merchantability. Plus, the food is a product that was unreasonably dangerous, under the Products Liability Act of WA. IF you can prove the illness was from the food, the restaurant is on the hook. The slip and fall = you say a wet floor. Was it recently mopped and no warning sign put up, or just customers who spilled water on the floor, or did the toilet over run or what? There may be liability for the slip and fall. Also, with a commercial property, the insurance policy for the restaurant may have a no fault premises medical coverage. SO, if a patron is injured on the premises, the insurer for the premises will pay medical bills, no questions asked (dental too) UP TO the limit of coverage of the policy, which is like 1K, or 2K or 5K or maybe even up to 10K. Consult with a tort lawyer.

Given the facts, I would not advise investing in a lawsuit for defamation when you have several witnesses that would testify against you. You do have a workers compensation claim against your Employer if you continue to require treatment for your injuries , and are missing time from work.
