Food Poisoning Claims
To prevent their customers from getting sick, food retailers and suppliers have a duty to adhere to the established hygiene requirements. Our personal injury solicitors could assist you in filing a claim for compensation if you contracted food poisoning after dining at a restaurant, bar, or other eating establishment or after consuming food that you bought from a store.
Food Poisoning Compensation Claims
Food poisoning claims are frequently minor personal injury lawsuits, but they can also result in significant symptoms, and in the worst circumstances, death. It is brought on by eating raw, tainted, or improperly prepared food. After eating at a restaurant or other type of eatery, or after consuming food you purchased at the grocery store, you could develop food poisoning. If you have developed food poisoning due to someone else’s negligence you could be entitled to claim compensation.
Common Types of Food Poisoning Claims
Bacterial food poisoning, which is the most typical form, starts when ingested food becomes contaminated with bacteria or parasites because it was improperly cooked. Food poisoning can develop because this bacterium is not always detectable by smell or taste and cannot always be seen with the unaided eye. Food poisoning claims cover a range of different types of symptoms. Some of the most common types of food poisoning claims that we see at Rees Clayton Solicitors include:
- Salmonella Claims – symptoms include diarrhoea, fever, and stomach cramps.
- Botulism Claims – symptoms include difficulty swallowing, muscle weakness, double or blurry vision, slurred speech, difficulty breathing and difficulty moving the eyes.
- E Coli Claims – symptoms include stomach pains and cramps, diarrhoea, fatigue, loss of appetite, vomiting and low fever.
- Norovirus Claims – symptoms include nausea, diarrhoea, and vomiting.
- Giardia Claims – symptoms include diarrhoea, flatulence, smelly burps, bloating and weight loss.
