Arizona E. Coli Victim Compensation

If the source of an Arizona E. coli O157:H7 outbreak can be found, the victims of that outbreak generally have a legal right to compensation. This is because food contaminated with E. coli O157:H7 is adulterated, and therefore legally defective. The theories of law generally used to recover compensation for the victims are strict liability, breach of contract and negligence. An attorney who knows how to sue a food manufacturing company or restaurant for food poisoning should be consulted.

Compensation for an Arizona E. coli infection should include amounts for all complications of the infection, including hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), the leading cause of kidney failure in children in the United States, and thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP), a related illness that is sometimes referred to as adult HUS. In addition to kidney failure, HUS and TTP can cause brain damage, seizures, coma, encephalopathy, blindness, hypertension, stroke, heart failure, pancreatitis and death.

Depending on the facts of the case, a lawsuit may be filed in state or federal court. The facts will also determine if the suit is filed in Missouri or another state. These are critical decisions that should be made by an experienced attorney.

The United States District Court for Arizona hears cases in Phoenix, Tucson, Flagstaff, Yuma and Prescott. The Superior Court is Arizona's general jurisdiction court. It is a single entity with locations in each county: Apache, Cochise, Coconino, Gila, Graham, Geenlee, La Paz, Maricopa, Mohave, Navajo, Pima, Pinal, Santa Cruz, Yavapai and Yuma.
