    Family sues Japanese restaurant for tossing shrimp

    MINEOLA, N.Y. A New York family has filed a ten (M) million-dollar lawsuit, claiming a Japanese chef who tossed cooked shrimp at a man caused him to die ten months later.

    The family of the Long Island man (Jerry Colaitis) says he ducked away from the flying shrimp, wrenched his neck and died from complications caused by the surgery he had on his neck.

    The family is suing the Benihana Restaurant in Munsey Park, Long Island. The restaurant is known for having its hibachi chefs slice, dice and toss food when cooking the meal in front of customers.

    In the lawsuit, the man's wife says her husband was healthy until he went to the restaurant. She says the chain of events that led to his death began with the shrimp.

    WHAT IS THE WORLD COMING TO?!!!!?!!?

      And we wonder why our legal system is so fucked up. Just another bs case to further back log things.

      Of course they will probably end up winning.

        That's crazy fucked up that they're even allowed to sue for something like that.

        Spend you some brain.

              My Ex-husband SKULL-BUITRE ran off to Colombia with OUR money and screwed me after I helped him build OUR business.
              He is hiding in Colombia and never paid the settlement $ from our divorce!

                somebody should do something stupid like burn their house down and then sue them because the smoke made the arsenist feel woozy.

                    Cant post a link, but there was a robber that got 100,000 damage because he slipped on a wet kitchen floor WHILE he was robbing the house ...

                    This case will end up with a substantial settlement...

                          Yea the moment they start telling people what they can and cannot file a lawsuit for is the day I start packing my shit.


                          Most of the time frivolous cases get tossed out and the people who brought the case end up loosing money. Yea, you can point at exceptions but to think they are very common is just foolish.

                          Its funny how poeple here can turn almost anything into country bashing.

                          Amen

                            Look you stupid fucks, you dont know shit about the case. Its quite valid that the restaurant did cause it. They do throw food at you, what if someone was allergic to shrimp and they did it?

                            They are trying to throw it into your mouth using their little cooking tools.

                              Problem is it wastes money on both sides, and the tendency is he/she with the most money wins.

                              That shit is so fucked and very typical of lazy ass muddas that are too lazy to work or their pimp/sugga daddy just kicked it.

                              In the above case ... I'd say both.

                                  If you don't want food thrown at you, then don't go somewhere like Benihanas ... probably better to avoid the whole 'hibachi' thing in general actually.

                                  You go to that place FOR the experience ...

                                        So you know what goes on inside every restaurant you've ever been to, before you go? My first time at Benihana (my all time favorite place to eat) I had no idea what it was.

                                          Unless there's gross negligance on the part of the restaurant, I don't see the case getting very far.

                                          If they are able to prove that Benihana had previous complaints about tossing food leading to injuries, and still kept doing it, then they might have a case.

                                                Americans sue at the drop of a dime, its so sad, non-Americans wouldn't have even thought of sueing, cause they wouldn't care.
