Listeria

Bacteria Responsible for Rare, but Potentially Deadly Disease

Listeria is a rare form of bacteria found in soil, water, and some types of uncooked meats and vegetables that can cause a deadly disease, called listeriosis. Each year, about 2,500 people in the United States develop listeriosis and 500 of those people die from the disease. Listeriosis is particularly dangerous because it can quickly spread to the body’s nervous system and cause deadly meningitis.

If you or a loved one has suffered from listeriosis, you may have important legal rights to financial compensation. At Mark & Associates, P.C., our experienced personal injury attorneys are dedicated to helping victims of listeria exposure and other types of food poisoning obtain the financial compensation to which they are entitled. Injured parties and their families may be entitled to money for the costs of medical bills, lost income from time they were too sick to work, and other damages. Contact Mark & Associates, P.C. today for a free initial consultation by calling 1-866-50-RIGHTS (1-866-507-4448) or completing the case inquiry form on this page.

How is Listeria Bacteria Transmitted?

Listeria is a type of food-borne bacteria that is passed to people who eat contaminated food. Since heat kills the bacteria, most cases of listeria transmission involve improper preparation of food, particularly lunch meats that are not cooked to sufficient temperatures. The following types of foods that may carry listeria bacteria include:

• Hot dogs
• Chicken
• Egg dishes
• Ground beef
• Pork
• Ham

Pregnant Women, Unborn Children are At Risk

Listeria exposure and listeriosis are particularly dangerous for pregnant women and their unborn babies. More than one in five cases of perinatal listeriosis result in stillbirth or another type of neonatal death. While early detection and treatment of infection can prevent such problems, the bacteria can infect the fetus by penetrating the layers of the placenta, resulting in severe complications including:

• Miscarriage
• Premature delivery
• Infection to the newborn
