Food Poisoning Shigella

It's scary to think about your favorite meal potentially causing harm to you or a loved one. Unfortunately, even though standards are set for restaurants and food distributors to ensure the goods you're consuming are safe, according to the CDC, Shigella, a bacteria most commonly associated with food poisoning, causes an estimated 450,000 infections in the United States each year. Those who are exposed to this bacteria are not only victims of contaminated food but are also potentially at risk of losing their financial stability due to medical bills or the inability to work and support those who depend on them. At Morgan & Morgan, we understand how difficult life can become after consuming food contaminated with the Shigella bacteria. Our team of highly experienced attorneys wants to fight for you to get back what you deserve so you can focus on what matters most. If you think that you or a loved one have been exposed to Shigella due to a food distributor’s negligence, then fill out our free, no-obligation case evaluation form, and one of our food poisoning attorneys will contact you.
