The Experience You Need to Protect Your Rights

Contact us for a no-cost consultation with a knowledgeable attorney committed to protecting your claim. In handling such food poisoning cases against Chili's, Jewell Food and Taste of Chicago, we understand the unique nature of what is involved in this type of injury case.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has determined that common food borne contaminations are caused by such bacteria, and other diseases or parasites that are occasionally food-related, as:

• Salmonella
• E. coli (Escherichia coli)
• Campylobacter
• Listeria
• Shigella
• Hepatitis A
• Giardia
• Cryptosporidia

Food poisoning claims involving E. coli, botulism or salmonella lawsuits require scientific testimony, and become rapidly complex. Tracing the source of the illness from the index case, demonstrating the links in the chain of contamination often require expert analysis and testimony.

Our attorneys consult with microbiologists, toxicologists and other expert witnesses to provide the legal and scientific knowledge needed to build a strong, convincing case. Whether we are handling an individual or mass tort claim, our goal is help you recover the fair compensation you deserve.
