Contaminated Food
Our client suffered a severe bout of food poisoning after consuming improperly prepared food at a local restaurant. The contamination led to violent gastrointestinal distress, requiring hospitalization, IV therapy, and an extended recovery period. Lingering digestive issues persisted, interfering with the client’s work and daily life.
The Outcome:
We secured $56,250 in damages, covering medical expenses, lost wages, and the lasting impact on the client’s health and wellbeing.
Creative Legal Strategy:
We obtained health department inspection reports, matched the timeline of our client’s symptoms to the restaurant’s food preparation logs, and used expert medical opinion to draw a clear line of causation. This proactive approach cut off typical defenses around source uncertainty and forced a quick, favorable resolution.
