Bronx, New York – Food-Borne Illness: You Have the Right to Expect Safe Eats

If something you ate at a restaurant or that was prepared and packaged at a market made you sick, you may be due a settlement. Call Feiner & Lavy today for a free consultation.

We all want to believe that our food is safe and fit to eat. Unfortunately, as the news tells us with alarming frequency, this isn’t always the case.

Becoming sick due by food is more than just having a stomachache and a few other minor symptoms because of something you ate in a restaurant. The minor food poisoning that we experience is not generally severe enough to bring a lawsuit.

However, when you buy packaged food or even loose fruits and vegetables, you have a reasonable expectation to believe that food is safe. Whether it’s labeled organic or not doesn’t matter – you have a right to assume that food is safe.

This is not always the case, and the best Bronx personal injury lawyers at Feiner & Lavy are standing by to help you if something you ate made you sick enough to land in the hospital.

What kind of foods can make you sick? Pretty much anything. We thought about a few recent recall cases, and they included peanut butter, mushrooms, almonds, beef, meal kits and ice cream. These products have all been recalled in recent years because of outbreaks of food-borne bacteria that cause severe illness that can lead to someone dying. These are very serious cases, and Feiner & Lavy will be by your side all the way should you need to pursue a lawsuit.

If you have been made ill by food-borne bacteria like salmonella, e. coli or listeria, your symptoms will include stomach cramps, diarrhea, nausea and vomiting, and may also include a fever, chills, a headache or bloody stool. If these symptoms persist for more than half a day, you should seek medical attention.

If you believe your illness was caused by a food product, like a jar of peanut butter, a frozen dinner or a can of ravioli, it is important that you save the container. Chances are that if this is an outbreak, other people will get sick and the codes on the package should confirm if this product made you sick.

If you call the manufacturer after getting sick, they may offer you a speedy settlement. Our advice to you: Don’t take it! They are trying to get off cheap. Call Feiner & Lavy and let us fight for your injury.
