Restaurant Allergy Claims: You CAN Claim Compensation If:
- You told them about your allergy – verbally or in writing, to any staff member
- They still served the allergen – hidden in sauce, undeclared ingredient, or cross-contamination
- You had a reaction requiring treatment – from antihistamines to EpiPen to hospital
- Feel guilty about claiming? – Don’t. They have insurance specifically for this
- It happened within the last 3 years – but evidence disappears fast, so act quickly

Your compensation considers:

- Any lasting effects or increased sensitivity
You’re not taking money from minimum-wage staff – you’re claiming from their insurer who should have ensured proper allergen training.
