California Food Poisoning Lawyer

Food Poisoning is a serious, life-threatening problem, which has become an epidemic in the United States. Food poisoning can affect one person or it can occur as an outbreak in a group of people who all ate the same contaminated food. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimate that there are 76 million cases of food poisoning in the United States each year. Of these cases, approximately 300,000 people will be hospitalized and 5,000 people will die. Infants and elderly people have the greatest risk for food poisoning. You are also at higher risk if you have a serious medical condition, like kidney disease or diabetes, a weakened immune system, or you travel outside of the U.S. to areas where there is more exposure to organisms that cause food poisoning. Pregnant and breastfeeding women have to be especially careful.

There are strict standards for food products and food safety, and those standards are not always met, leading to food poisoning. The Gomez Law Firm will hold the negligent parties accountable if you become ill following consumption of food at home, on vacation, or at a restaurant. We will investigate the product purchased at a store or a restaurant if the illness happened following a meal. Your case does not have to make banner headlines on a nationwide basis, but food poisoning is not something to be taken lightly. It can cause permanent damage to you and sometimes death. Food poisoning symptoms can range from simple flu-like gastro-intestinal irritation--such as diarrhea and stomach ache--that may last only a short period to more serious conditions that require hospitalization
