E. coli Food Poisoning Legal Team


Getting the most experienced team working on your case quickly gives you the best chance of obtaining the compensation you deserve.

Most E. coli bacteria does not cause harm, but certain strains can produce a poison called Shiga toxin. Shiga toxin producing E. Coli (STEC’s), like the O157:H7 (as well as O121:H19 and O145) can cause serious, often deadly, illness in humans.

These cases are tragic…and preventable.

Meat, vegetables, and other unpasteurized foods can be contaminated by E. Coli when it comes into contact with animal feces.

Fred Pritzker and the lawyers on his food safety legal team represent victims who have been seriously injured by exposure to Shiga toxin producing E. coli tainted food, and the family members who are impacted by their loved ones illness.

In obtaining compensation for our clients, we hold corporate wrongdoers accountable and help drive the kinds of changes needed to prevent future outbreaks.

If you have been diagnosed with E. coli poisoning or HUS, contact our legal team right away

Why Hire Pritzker Hageman’s Food Safety Legal Team for Your E. coli Case?


E. Coli (Escherichia coli) O157:H7, can cause life-threatening cases of food poisoning.

The most common source of illness is food that has been contaminated with fecal matter from infected animals or through cross-contamination from contact with a contaminated surface or person. Companies that produce and handle food are required to take measures to prevent contamination and to detect contamination before food is sold to consumers. When these measure are not taken, or are done incorrectly, people get sick. It is our job to hold companies responsible the contaminated food they sell.

HUS (Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome) can occur in around 10% of E. coli O157:H7 cases.  HUS is caused by Shiga toxin circulating in the bloodstream and causeing kidney damage and ultimately kidney failure.

Your settlement should include amounts for serious complications, like HUS, meningitis (brain infection), sepsis, heart damage, and severe colitis (requiring surgery called a colectomy).

We’re lawyers representing people and families harmed by E. coli.

If you or a family member has been seriously sickened by E. coli O157:H7, it’s very likely that you’ve never been through something as terrible as this before. You need to know if you have a case and what to expect if you decide to go forward with a claim. We can help. Call, email or text us – it’s absolutely free – and we’ll quickly be able to tell you if you have a case and explain the process of working with a lawyer and making a claim.
