  1. FOOD POISONING You are what you eat, but if you’re a victim of food poisoning, what should you do? According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, about 325,000 cases a year require hospital treatment, and about 5,000 cases result in death. If you suspect that you or a loved one has suffered food poisoning as a result of negligence contact one of our area offices. HERE HERE ARE OF OF FOOD FOOD POISONING: POISONING: ARE SOME SOME TIPS TIPS FOR FOR WHAT WHAT TO TO DO DO AFTER AFTER A A BAD BAD CASE CASE 1) 1) GET GET MEDICAL MEDICAL ATTENTION ATTENTION If you suspect food poisoning, it’s probably wise to see a doctor. Some types of food poisoning are apparent immediately, while others may take a day or two before symptoms emerge. Either way, a doctor’s diagnosis — confirmed by stool samples or other tests — can help prove that foodborne contamination made you sick. Also, hang on to your bills for possible reimbursement of medical expenses. 2) 2) FIGURE FIGURE OUT OUT WHICH WHICH FOOD FOOD MADE MADE YOU YOU SICK SICK In addition to proving that foodborne contamination made you sick, you must generally also prove the food you ate was actually contaminated. This can be simple: Perhaps a public health official found a link between your illness and something specific you ate. Or it can be more complicated: You may need to submit leftover food scraps for scientific testing.

  2. If the likely source of contamination has been consumed or discarded, try to find the bag, can, or container that the food came in. You may also want to dig up a receipt to show you purchased the item in question. 3) 3) CONSULT CONSULT A A LAWYER LAWYER An experienced attorney at Jonathan R. Brockman P.C. can consider all aspects of your case, and advise you on what you need to do to win a food poisoning claim. We will also know how much time you have to file your claim, and whether a class action may be appropriate in your particular food-poisoning case. -----------------------------------------------------------------------
