Case Details
Settlement in food poisoning case. We represented a 32-year-old man who suffered salmonella food poisoning from eating undercooked chicken at a restaurant. Salmonellosis led to the development of debilitating reactive arthritis that resulted in our client’s disability from his employment.
Additional Notes
Although food poisoning cases are often hard to prove since it is difficult to pinpoint the exact meal when the offending food was eaten, in this case, our client was at a convention with co-workers and several of his co-workers got sick as well. The county health department then conducted interviews with all of the people who got sick and, through the county’s investigation, the undercooked chicken was identified. The case had been rejected by another local firm who referred the client to us for a second opinion. Fortunately, we were able to establish the case.
