Toothless due to KFC

I had major dental surgery; four wisdom tooth extractions and two
fillings spread out over several weeks. Paying out of pocket came out
to around $2000. I have no idea where you would have to pay such
outrageous prices for three teeth to be repaired. It seems that the
$9000 sprent would have been adequate for this task.

I also find it odd that, without an incident/police report, a lawyer
would be able to track you down and offer legal help. That doesn't
seem completely on the ball either.

You have to bite down on a pebble mighty hard to be able to "shatter"
THREE TEETH, and if you were eating chicken, as soft as that is, your
"reflex" would have sensed something was in your mouth that was MUCH
harder than chicken long before you bit down on anything.

If your teeth did in fact shatter because of one single bite on a
"pebble" than you were long over due for a Dentist appointment
anyway.

Common sense would be to stay at the location during the incident and
require a member of Management to complete an accident report. Most
major companies are required to do this. If you are refused an
accident report...go as far as to call the police and report the
incident through them.

I have never, ever heard of a wooden token coupon/giftcard/whatever
from KFC, please enlighten me. And please also enlighten me as to
what planet you live on where Lawyers contact you out of the blue.

For the money your crook of a Dentist has supposedly charged you thus
far you could have received an entire mouth full of brand new teeth.

I'm sensing an odor here and it's more than just halitosis.

If you had cracked your teeth like that then why the hell didn't you
see someone right away?

Also did you keep the "pebble"? I'm wondering if it was actually a
pebble (as there really shouldn't be a way for a pebble to find its
way into your chicken) or if it was a piece of bone. If it was a
pebble and this has happened with other people then perhaps a health
inspection may be in order. It may not help you but if a pebble
managed to get in their chicken then their food handling is not up to
par.

I'm sorry, but this screams "SCAM" to me! Unless there is a record of
some kind, there is no way a lawyer would have "called out of the
blue". This whole story is bulls***.

I would recommend going back to the location with a copy of your
dental bills and ask to talk to a manager.

You may also want to talk to the lawyer again and see if he can cut
you a deal on the retainer, especially since he apparently already has
3 other clients.

How the big was this "pebble?"

OMG.,.. You never turn down a lawyer for something like that.

I would suggest trying to call him or her back.


With something like that, and with such large bills, it has to go to
court. Especially since there were others listed on the ticket.

Taking a case on a contingency basis.

I knew there was a term for it that I couldn't remember.

I'm blaming pain pills for a bum knee..Even if it's just Advil...:)

How would a lawyer know anything about your case or even get your
number?

Then having it happen to 3 other people at the same store!!

You were treated the way you did, got pushed out the door, had to pay
expensive bills, and you turn down a chance to get your teeth fixed by
KFC??

I would call that lawyer back, swallowing liquid meals has to get old


good day

I'll say this as politely as I can... $50,000 to fix your teeth?
That's ridiculous. Are you looking at totally new implants or exactly
what? A lawyer called YOU out of the blue? And you refused the lawyer
knowing it happened to four other people? Staff pushed you out the
door? This has been going on for almost a year?

Please give us more information and details. There is simply too much
missing from this story. Did you go to an Emergency clinic after this?
If so, there might be some documentation to back up your story. If
not, it's way too late.

Am I reading this correctly twenty six thousand and eight hundred
dollars. My god what exactly happended to cause such extreme damage.

Did you get pictures of the damage. What did the manager say when he
saw the blood in your mouth. Did he even look at your teeth. Did you
show him the pebble.

Have you found out about the others with the same problem.

I would never let anyone push me out the door until I at least has an
insident report compeleted on the spot

Well anyway good luck and please let us know how this turns out.
