When you were served your food, they had a duty to provide you a safe product to consume. Because you were not served a safe product, then yes you can sue. However, you may not have to. Many restaurants have insurance policies to cover incidents like this. To help you file a suit or file a claim on their insurance, contact a personal injury or products liability attorney. They can help draft a demand letter on your behalf or file suit if needed.
