Apology doesn't totally compensate client - lawyer
The lawyer for a Louisiana woman who said she found a severed fingertip in her salad said on Monday that an apology from restaurant chain Applebee's International Inc. didn't 'totally compensate' his client.
Restaurant chain Applebee's said a worker accidentally cut the "very tip of his thumb" last year, an incident it says may have triggered a lawsuit from a Louisiana woman who said she found a severed fingertip in her salad. Applebee's described the event as an "isolated incident" in a statement released on Saturday.
The company apologized to May Deal Chambers Johnson, who filed the lawsuit last week.
Johnson's lawyer, Michael Darnell of New Orleans, told Reuters on Monday: "We appreciate the fact that Applebee's has made an apology, but that doesn't totally compensate my client (May Johnson) for the revolting experience she had and the trauma she has sustained because of the incident. Additionally, the statement by Applebee's seems to make a case for a lax supervision by the franchiser of this particular franchisee, in that according to Applebees they apparently didn't discover that incident for at last a year later."
