We have been contacted by a family whose loved contracted Salmonella food poisoning after eating at an area graduation party on June 1, 2013. The party was catered by a local restaurant.
We have reason to believe that others who attended the graduation party were also sickened. Our Salmonella attorneys provide free consultations to outbreak victims and their families. Request your FREE consultation here.
Restaurants are liable (legally responsible) for illnesses caused by their food. Even if the specific food source of the outbreak is not determined, you may have a claim for money damages against the restaurant if you attended the graduation party or ate at the restaurant around June 1 and you were diagnosed with a Salmonella infection (salmonellosis) within a few days after. In most Salmonella outbreak lawsuits, victims seek compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, physical pain, emotional distress, disability and other lawful damages. For more information, read “Can I sue a restaurant for food poisoning?”
The Maryland Department of Health has been notified of the potential outbreak and is investigating.
Our Salmonella lawyers hold restaurants, food processors and others accountable for selling tainted food. You can contact them HERE.
