Philadelphia Food Poisoning Claims Against Restaurants

How can I pursue a claim for food poisoning against a restaurant?

To bring a food poisoning personal injury claim, you would have to establish the following:

• The restaurant did something wrong, i.e., the food handler, seller, processor, or other responsible party did something wrong that led to contamination of the food that you consumed;
• The food was contaminated, i.e., the food you consumed was contaminated with something causing a foodborne illness such as bacteria, virus, or parasites or that the food was improperly stored, handled, or prepared;
• The contaminated food caused you to suffer illness/injury; and
• You can show that you suffered actual physical, mental, or financial damage because of the food poisoning.

Since evidence of food poisoning is difficult to preserve, it is important that you document the time, date, conditions, and specifics of when you became ill and the suspected cause. It is also important that you seek prompt medical treatment and fully describe the details of how and when you got sick and, of course, follow all medical treatment recommendations.

If you, or your loved one, have suffered food poisoning from a restaurant, you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries. Depending on the facts and circumstances, the food service establish may be held responsible and their vendors and distributors may also be liable.
