Salmonella Food Poisoning Lawyers
We are currently investigating Salmonella outbreaks across the United States. If you have been sickened by Salmonella, contact us right now.
Salmonella sickens 1.2 million people per year. In some people Salmonella goes beyond just making them sick. For some people the dehydration can be so severe they end up hospitalized. For some it spreads to the blood, the brain and the joints and can cause severe life-long injuries and even death. The elderly, the very young, and those already sick are at particular risk. In fact, Salmonella poisoning leads to 23,000 hospitalizations and 450 deaths, on average, each and every year.
These cases are tragic…and preventable.

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

Why Hire Pritzker Hageman’s Food Safety Legal Team for Your Salmonella Case?
We understand salmonellosis, the bacterial infection caused by eating food contaminated by the germ Salmonella.
The most common source of illness is food that has been contaminated with fecal matter from infected people or animals. People who come into contact with contaminated food, or surfaces contaminated food has touched, only need a few cells of Salmonella bacterium to become infected. 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.
Although the number of cases formally reported in the U.S. is about 40,000 per year, it is estimated that 1.2 million cases cause illness and as many as four million infections may be occurring every year that are not reported or diagnosed.
Your settlement should include amounts for serious complications, like meningitis (brain infection), sepsis, heart damage, pancreatitis, and severe colitis (requiring surgery called a colectomy).
