Subway Restaurant Lawsuit Filed in Illinois

Subway Salmonella Pritzker Olsen filed its first Subway Shigella lawsuit on March 18, 2010 against Neel Subway, Inc. (Case No. 2010L 000391 in Circuit Court of DuPage County) on behalf of Patricia Larsen, a resident of DuPage County, Illinois. Ms. Larsen suffered severe gastrointestinal illness (shigellosis) after eating a veggie sandwich at the Subway restaurant, which is located at 1009 East Roosevelt Road in Lombard. A stool culture ordered by her doctor confirmed she was infected with Shigella sonnei.

The firm alleged that the restaurant failed to ensure its workers were properly trained in safe food handling methods and failed to design or implement a sick-leave policy that would encourage or cause employees to not work while sick. If a food handler infected with Shigella does not wash his or her hands adequately, contaminated human waste can get on food served to patrons, spreading painful illness that can last one to two weeks and require hospitalization.

"The public demands and expects all restaurants to prepare food under the safest possible conditions," said Attorney Fred Pritzker, founder and president of Pritzker Olsen. "The adulteration of food in this outbreak was excruciating to victims and unusually extensive.''

Subway Restaurant Lawsuit Investigation

Our law firm is investigating the Subway Salmonella Hvittingfoss outbreak for our clients who were hospitalized in the outbreak. At least 97 people in 28 Illinois counties were sickened in the outbreak.

One of our clients, a 52-year-old resident of Tazewell County, ate an oven-roasted chicken sub on May 11 at the Subway on 603 Jackson Street in Morton, Illinois. She was hospitalized for several days after suffering gastroenteritis and cramping with severe vomiting.

“Our client ate a sandwich and ended up in the hospital. This should never happen in our country,” Pritzker said. “Stringent sanitation requirements should be in place all along the food chain, and federal and state health officials should be given the authority and money needed to enforce the laws. Large restaurant chains should require suppliers to regularly test for Salmonella and other dangerous pathogens.”
