Personal Injury and Wrongful Death

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
