If you were not injured or sickened, there is nothing to do: the legal system only provides compensation for actual injuries or costs caused by another's fault, so if you were not hurt or did not incure significant medical costs, there is no point in taking legal action--you will be unable to recover much (or possibly any) money. If you were hurt or had to go the hospital, then you should consult with a personal injury attorney, to evaluate the strength of your case and what it might be worth, before deciding on a course of action.

The attorney providing the answer was not serving as the attorney for the person submitting the question or in any attorney-client relationship with such person. Laws may vary from state to state, and sometimes change. Tiny variations in the facts, or a fact not set forth in a question, often can change a legal outcome or an attorney's conclusion. Although AttorneyPages.com has verified the attorney was admitted to practice law in at least one jurisdiction, he or she may not be authorized to practice law in the jurisdiction referred to in the question, nor is he or she necessarily experienced in the area of the law involved. Unlike the information in the Answer(s) above, upon which you should NOT rely, for personal advice you can rely upon we suggest you retain an attorney to represent you.
