E. coli Attorney for Outbreak Investigation

If you hire us, our attorneys will investigate the E. coli outbreak that made you sick. Some of the things we do when we investigate include the following, when appropriate:

Hire top-knotch epidemiologists and other experts to help us gather evidence and build our case
Obtain all local, state and federal documents pertaining to the outbreak and the companies involved in the outbreak
Personally inspect any food manufacturing plant involved
Depose executives, managers and others of any companies involved, including food manufacturers, restaurants, distributors
Obtain relevant documents from all companies involved

Compensation for E. coli Personal Injury

Compensation for E. coli personal injury depends on the facts of the case, the insurance policies involved and other factors. Compensation may include amounts for the following:

Hospital bills and other medical expenses
Cost of care
Lost income (in the case of a child with E. coli, the parents may seek compensation for this)
Pain and suffering, which includes amounts for physical pain, emotional distress, disability, loss of quality of life

Our attorneys have successfully represented E. coli vicitms who developed hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) and/or thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP). HUS is characterized by damage and destruction of the red blood cells, which leads to a lower than normal number of red blood cells (a condition called anemia), blood clots, and damage to blood vessel walls. Complications of HUS are severe and can include the following:

Hemolytic anemia
HUS Kidney failure (renal failure)
HUS pancreatitis
Central Nervous System (CNS) disturbances such as irritablilty, behavior changes, disorientation, delerium, hallucinations, dizziness and tremors
HUS Seizures
HUS Coma
HUS Stroke
HUS Encephalopathy
Respiratory disease syndrome
HUS heart attack and heart failure
Cortical blindness
Death

Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) occurs when too many platelets are destroyed. With TTP, tiny thrombi (blood clots) form in blood vessels throughout the body, but particularly in the central nervous system (CNS) and kidneys. Because the formation of the thrombi (blood clots) uses an abnormally high number of platelets, the number of platelets in the bloodstream decreases to dangerously low levels. TTP can cause the following:

Stroke
Seizures
Coma
Heart arythmia
Hemolytic anemia
Heart failure
Acute and chronic renal failure (kidney failure)
Severe abdominal pain
Pancreatitis (can include glucose intolerance)
Enlarged liver
Perforated colon
Hypertension
Death

Compensation for E. coli Wrongful Death

When a victim of an E. coli outbreak dies, the law allows the next of kin (spouse, children, parents, siblings, and more distant relatives) of the decedent (the person who died) to pursue a claim for money damages against any parties that may be liable (legally responsible). This is called a "wrongful death claim."
