Have you Suffered from Food Poisoning?

If you or a loved one became sick due to food poisoning or foodborne illness, you may have valuable legal rights. Food poisoning often occurs due to negligence on the part of farmers, ranchers, food canning and packaging companies, restaurants, airline and cruise food preparation companies, and grocery stores. Babies, the elderly, those with compromised immune systems, and pregnant women are all at high risk for food poisoning, but it can affect anyone at any time. Food poisoning can be extremely serious and can even lead to death. Serious complications of food poisoning include dehydration, respiratory problems, bleeding problems, kidney problems, nervous system problems, pericarditis and death. In fall 2006, spinach contaminated with e coli caused the illness of 200 people and the deaths of 3 people. The outbreak renewed concerns about much of the food that we eat today, whether meats, fish, dairy products or vegetables.
