Do You or a Loved One Have Food Poisoning?

You May Have Rights

An estimated 76 million Americans are sickened and as many as 5,000 more die each year as the result of food poisoning. However, even those numbers, while shockingly high, do not tell the entire story. Many people either do not realize they have food poisoning or do not seek medical treatment for the ailment. Therefore, medical experts agree that the numbers of people in the United States who are sickened or killed by food poisoning each year is significantly higher than reported.

Widespread and highly publicized outbreaks of salmonella, E-coli, botulism, and other types of food-borne diseases have been linked to contaminated poultry, beef, peanut butter, tomatoes, and other foods. Life-threatening food poisoning also can be acquired from restaurants, mobile catering trucks, and other food-service locations, or by people cooking at home and failing to properly prepare food or clean knives, cutting boards, and other kitchen surfaces where bacteria can live.

If you or a loved one has developed salmonella, e-coli, or another type of food poisoning, you may have legal rights to financial compensation. The food manufacturer, restaurant owner, or other responsible party may be liable for your injuries, making you and your family eligible to receive money to compensate you for your medical bills, lost income from time you were too sick to work, pain and suffering, and other damages.

What Causes Food Poisoning?

Food poisoning is caused when people consume food that is contaminated by various types of food-borne bacteria or microbes. Food that is grown, processed, prepared, or served in dirty, unsanitary conditions on farms, in food processing plants, packaging facilities, restaurants, and other locations may carry potentially deadly bacteria.

When food-industry workers fail to properly clean or maintain their facilities, the equipment used to process or package large amounts of food can be contaminated. This carelessness can allow bacteria to quickly contaminate massive amounts of food products that are sold in stores across the United States. In people’s homes, the insufficient cleaning and disinfecting of cooking surfaces is another common cause of food poisoning.

What are the Symptoms of Food Poisoning?

Food poisoning can result in a variety of symptoms, ranging from minor to severe pain, and depending on the type of bacteria involved. However, the most common symptoms of food poisoning include:

  • Nausea
  • Vomiting
  • Abdominal cramps
  • Diarrhea
  • Dehydration
  • Bloody stool
  • Weakness
  • Fatigue
  • Fever
  • Headache
