Botulism Attorneys for Lawsuit
Foodborne botulism is a severe type of food poisoning caused by the ingestion of foods containing a potent neurotoxin (nerve toxin) that is produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. A very small amount (a few nanograms) of the neurotoxin can cause botulism. There are only 25-30 cases of foodborne botulism each year in the United States, but the mortality rate is high if not treated immediately and properly.
Botulism Lawsuit: Victim Compensation and Wrongful Death
If the botulism victim has been paralyzed by the toxin, compensation can be substantial. Factors considered when determining a compensation package include the following:
- Medical bills
- Physical pain endured
- Lost income, based in part on the victims education and occupation
- Emotional distress
- Disability
- Loss of quality
If your loved one has died from botulism, compensation for the family may include the following:
- Funeral expenses
- Medical expenses
- Lost income
- Loss of care and companionship
