Trusted Attorneys for Food Poisoning Claims
Mishandled, improperly cooked and poorly prepared food can be full of dangerous toxins and bacteria. Potential symptoms from food poisoning include stomach pain and nausea. It can cause serious illness and can even lead to chronic disease or death for at-risk individuals. News reports of local, regional and national food companies that have put people at risk are almost common.
If you have suffered physical illness because of any food producer's or grocer's wrong doing, you have access to a legal process designed to protect and compensate you.
At the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, law office of Robert Peirce & Associates, P.C., our attorneys represent clients throughout the area in a wide range of personal injury cases. If you have suffered as a result of someone else's negligence or actions, then we can put our experience and reputation for proven results behind your case.
Take Action When You Have Been Food Poisoned
Illnesses associated with food poisoning include salmonella, botulism, E. coli and hepatitis. In the most extreme cases, people handling food can transmit even more serious diseases. Major businesses such as ConAgra and national chain restaurants can expose their customers to illness and injury.
These kinds of personal injury and food poisoning cases are most often the result of:
- Improper handling
- Contamination
- Improper preparation of food
- Use of low grade or dangerous food products
- Poor storage
- Preparation or storage at improper temperatures
Whether your case is an isolated incident or part of a class action suit, we field lawyers with the training, experience and resources to explore all compensation options. When you or your family have been exposed to contaminated food, you should get treatment from your doctor, keep documentation, ask your doctor to file a report with the health department and get in touch with our office.
