Press Release: Pritzker Calls on Whittier Farms to Pay Medical Bills and Funeral Expenses
Contact: Fred Pritzker
Phone number: 612-338-0202 or toll-free at 1-888-377-8900
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE--MINNEAPOLIS--Fred Pritzker, a food safety lawyer with extensive experience with Listeria cases, called today on Whittier Farms of Shrewsbury, Massachusetts, to pay the medical bills of the people who were sickened by Listeria after consuming Whittier Farms milk products and the funeral expenses of the two victims who died. DNA fingerprinting has determined that the four people were sickened by the same source, and the Massachusetts Department of Public Health has associated Whittier Farms milk with the illnesses and deaths, according to a department statement.
"It is only fair that Whittier Farms pay for the medical bills and the funeral expenses while other legal issues, including compensation for pain and suffering, are pending. The families deserve that peace of mind," stated Pritzker.
Pritzker recently litigated and ultimately settled a Listeria case in which he represented two women who had been pregnant at the time they contracted Listeria infections and the family of an elderly man who died. “These people and their families suffered immeasurably. No amount of money could fully compensate them for their loss but pursuing the companies responsible brought some comfort to the families. This was their way of helping to prevent anyone else from going through what they did.”
