QUESTION
What kind of attorney do I need to sue a big company or corporation?
Asked on Oct 03rd, 2012 on Litigation - South Carolina
More details to this question:
I bought a can of red bull and there was a dead fly in it. I lived in KY when this happened. I call red bull back again on 10/3/2012 because I haven’t heard anything back from them and they told me for my trouble they will send me a free can of red bull.

While I am sure you were disgusted by discovering the dead fly, there is little damages to go after. You can only get compensated based on your damages. There is no physical injury, just some psychological upset. Unfortunately, it is not worth much.

Search for an attorney in your area that handles product liability cases. You may have difficulty finding an attorney to take your case because you probably have no damages unless you got sick from swallowing the fly.

You would need to speak to a plaintiff's attorney. However, you would also have to consider what type of damages you would realistically receive. If you didn't incur any medical bills, had no emotional distress, and can't show that their negligence was severe enough to warrant punitive damages, then I doubt this would be a case worth pursuing.

If you didn't immediately experience symptoms and had to be seen by a physician because of your discovery of the fly, take the free red bull. It doesn't sound like you suffered any damages from your experience. You are only entitled to compensation if you are damaged.

Forget about it. Who cares if you got a fly. Stop drinking it, except you can't . You're hooked and they know it. They can treat you any way they want. You'll keep pumping your money into Red Bull. It's kind of sad.

Suits for bugs in food or drinks rarely result in verdicts for sufficient money to justify the suit. You might need a desperate attorney.
