Pritzker Olsen Law Firm Files Lawsuit against Illinois Subway on Behalf of Food Poisoning Victims
Pritzker Olsen is investigating the Subway salmonellosis outbreak in Illinois and recently filed a lawsuit against the Subway restaurant in Lombard, Illinois, located at 1009 East Roosevelt Road on behalf of a woman who suffered food poisoning after eating at Subway on February 26, 2010. This case was part of an unrelated outbreak and is not part of the Subway salmonellosis outbreak.
The lawsuit states that after our client ate at the Illinois Subway, she could not eat food for several days and missed nearly two weeks of work.
Subway Salmonellosis Outbreak in Illinois
The Illinois Department of Public Health and local health departments throughout the state are investigating the cause of Salmonella illnesses among customers who ate at certain Subway restaurants in Illinois. As of June 21, 2010, 97 cases of Salmonella have been confirmed.
Several of the people sickened in this outbreak have been hospitalized. Even if you spent one day in the hospital, you have medical expenses and lost income that should be paid by Subway. Contact our law firm about a Subway salmonellosis lawsuit.
Salmonella cases identified in this outbreak reported eating at Subway locations in 28 counties, including Bureau, Cass, Champaign, Christian, Coles, Dekalb, DeWitt, Fulton, Henry, Knox, LaSalle, Livingston, Macon, Marshall, McLean, Moultrie, Ogle, Peoria, Sangamon, Schuyler, Shelby, Tazewell, Vermilion, Warren, Will and Winnebago. Illnesses are reported to have started between May 14 and May 25, 2010, and cases range in age from 2 - 79.
The specific type of Salmonella involved in this outbreak is a rare serotype called Hvittingfoss. Typically, only one to two cases of this type of Salmonella are seen in Illinois per year.
Although there has been no positive or confirmed association with a specific product, the SUBWAY® restaurant chain has voluntarily withdrawn all lettuce, green peppers, red onion and tomatoes, from the suspected dates from its restaurants and has replaced the product with new, fresh produce. The SUBWAY® brand will continue to work with the Illinois Department of Public Health to assist in pinpointing the exact cause of the outbreak.
Symptoms of Salmonellosis (illness caused by Salmonella bacteria) include diarrhea, vomiting, fever and/or stomach cramps. Illness usually develops within six to 72 hours after being exposed to Salmonella bacteria and generally lasts three to seven days. Some individuals who are infected may have no symptoms at all but may still transmit the Salmonella bacteria to others. The spread of Salmonella from person to person may be avoided by careful hand washing with soap and water, particularly after using the restroom.
Subway Salmonellosis Lawsuit: Salmonella Complications and Salmonella Victim Compensation
Consumption of food contaminated with Salmonella can cause salmonellosis, one of the most common bacterial foodborne illnesses. Salmonella infections can cause Reiter’s syndrome (a form of arthritis), enteric fever (typhoid fever), meningitis (infection of the brain and spinal cord), sepsis (infection of the blood, also called septicemia) and death.
Anyone sickened by Salmonella after eating at Subway may have a claim against Subway, a food supplier to Subway and others. Liability issues can be complex. An experienced Salmonella attorney should be contacted.
Compensation for Salmonella victims and their families can include money for the following:
- Hospital bills and other medical expenses
- Lost income
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Disability
- Loss of quality of life
- Other damages
Because the complications of Salmonella can be severe, victims should seek money for future (expected) medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering and other damages.
