Sally Jackson Cheese E. coli Lawsuit:
5 Things Victims in MN, OR and WA Should Know

  1. The recalled Sally Jackson cheese was distributed nationwide to restaurants, retailers and others. Victims of this E. coli O157 outbreak may have claims against Sally Jackson Cheese, a distributor, a restaurant and/or a retailer. The facts of the case determine who is liable (legally responsible to pay victims compensation) and where a lawsuit should be filed. An experienced attorney should be contacted regarding these issues.
  2. Compensation for E. coli victims generally includes medical expenses, lost earnings, pain and suffering, emotional distress and other damages. Our attorneys have helped hundreds of food poisoning victims obtain compensation from food manufacturers, restaurants, retailers and others.
  3. Compensation for an 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.
  4. New research has found that even mild cases of E. coli O157:H7 illness can cause serious health problems in the future, including kidney damage and heart failure. This should be factored into the amount of compensation.
  5. There are only a handful of attorneys in the United States that litigate E. coli claims. Our attorneys are in that group and provide a free consultation to victims and their families. As with most personal injury and wrongful death law firms, we are not paid unless our client wins, and there are no up-front fees.

Pritzker Olsen attorneys have appeared on national and local news programs discussing food safety and litigation against food manufacturers, restaurants and others. Our law firm works with local counsel to obtain justice for E. coli victims throughout the United States. To contact the firm, please call toll-free at 1-888-377-8900 or submit the firm's online consultation form.
