Keywords: suing for all I can get



	Recently I found a human toe at a local fast food restaurant.  I didn't
suffer any real damage but I would like to sue them for all that I can.  I have
several questions.

1.  Should I try to find a legitamate lawyer or one who is only out for money
    (like me)  I feel that I don't really have a legitamate claim but I still
    have a good chance of winning the case.

2.  How much should I sue for.  I'm only in it for the money, but if I go too
    high they probably won't give me anything.  I don't really want to put
    anyone out of a job but it seems that an insurance company wouldn't be
    too angry at anyone if I didn't sue for very much.(They might even settle
    out of court so I won't have to go through the hassle of court)

3.  I didn't really suffer any damages(except for the price of my meal but I
    was already refunded that) but can I sue for things like emotional damages
    and things like that?

4.  I doubt that anyone out there has found a toe in their food but if you've
    heard of any cases where anyone has could you please send me all you know
    about it.

5.  Should I report it to all the news media so I have a better chance of 
    winning the case or will that allow the company to use some loophole?


                          thanx in advance (but you can't have a cut)
