In order to sue for a personal injury a person must be injured due to another's negligence. In this instance, you clearly suffered an injury and, if the facts you stated are accurate, it was due to negligence on the restaurant's part.
At this point, you should consult directly with a personal injury attorney in the area of where this incident took place. They can best advise you as to your rights and remedies in this situation.
