What Causes Food Poisoning?

Food poisoning is an illness that comes from eating contaminated or spoiled food. The three main sources of food poisoning are bacteria, viruses, and parasites. Bacteria is the most common. E. coli, listeria, and salmonella are three bacteria that can cause life-threatening forms of food poisoning. A recent salmonella outbreak linked to ground beef, for example, has taken a life in California. Food poisoning from all three sources is typically preventable.

The issue that ultimately causes food poisoning in a consumer could occur during the product’s manufacture, distribution, storage or preparation. Identifying the exact cause of a case of food poisoning may take a professional investigation. Many serious cases involve numerous consumers, helping investigators pinpoint the source of the illness. The defendant in a food poisoning lawsuit or class action could be a food manufacturer, distribution company, farm, restaurant, or grocery store.

How to Bring a Food Poisoning Case in Georgia?

As the victim of food poisoning, you may be able to bring a civil lawsuit against one or more defendants on the grounds of negligence, strict product liability, or breach of warranty. Negligence could refer to someone’s inadequate storage or preparation of the food item, leading to your illness. Strict product liability laws state that product manufacturers are liable for defective or dangerous items, even if they were not negligent. A breach of warranty is a violation of the implied or express guarantees given by food suppliers, such as a promise of “fully cooked” meats. If you believe you have a personal injury lawsuit for food poisoning, you have two years to bring your claim in most cases.
