I am a landlord and one of my tenants (A) of the office building unloaded a big furniture that came in a pallet. They cleaned up most after unloading in the parking lot but they left one pallet piece with nails sticking out leaning against the right side of the big garbage disposal unit (I think they leaned it against the unit but wind blew it off and put it in the ground).My other tenant (B) said he finished working out that night and said he was on the way back home and stepped on the nail protruding from the pallet (went to ER), and is probably deciding to sue the other tenant.Note - The garbage disposal unit is located at the far back of the parking lot which is located behind the office building.Can (B) successfully sue (A) for this incident?

I agree with Ted. The U.S. Customs and Border Protect Agency (CBP) requires that all wood packing materials such as pallets, crates and boxes used for shipments being imported into the United States be heat treated to a minimum wood core temperature of 56 degrees Celsius (132.8 degrees Fahrenheit) for 30 minutes or be fumigated with methyl bromide. Of course, fumigating with nasty methyl bromide is the preferred method and far easier than putting wood crates and pallets in a huge oven to be heated to 133 degrees Fahrenheit for 30 minutes. I wouldn't even want to use pallet wood for a bonfire, let alone cook with it.
Oak is frequently used in Texas barbecue. You need to know if the wood has been treated with chemical preservatives, stain, or finish (varnish oil etc.)
Is the pallet wood treated? If yes, then I would not use that for cooking. Many pallets are treated with chemicals to make them bug and rot resistant.
