Georgia E. coli Outbreak Linked to the Barbecue Pit
Lawsuit and Lawyer
Nebraska Beef E. coli Lawsuit
We are representing 3 people sickened in a Georgia E. coli outbreak linked to the Barbecue Pit in Moultrie, Georgia and Nebraska Beef, Ltd.
Our law firm has filed a lawsuit against Nebraska Beef, Ltd. on behalf of a victim of the E. coli outbreak that has sickened people in Michigan, Ohio, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky and New York. To contact our law firm regarding this lawsuit, please call 1-888-377-8900 (toll-free) or email attorney Fred Pritzker.
E. coli and Barbecue Pit in Moultrie, Georgia
According to the Southwest Georgia Public Health District, there are now eight confirmed E. coli cases, 4 presumed cases and 12 results-pending cases. 4 patients have developed hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), a severe illness that is often associated with E. coli infections. It can be harder to diagnose E. coli in HUS patients.
The Southwest Georgia Public Health District investigation has linked the Barbecue Pit in Moultrie, Georgia (Colquitt County) to this E. coli outbreak. Health Director Dr. Jacqueline Grant has stated that if the fourth patient
who has developed hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) ate food prepared by the Barbecue Pit before falling ill, " then all the
presumed cases of E. coli as well as all the confirmed cases will have been linked to the restaurant.”
Restaurant Liability
Restaurants are strictly liable for illnesses and death caused by the food they prepare. We have had several cases where a restaurant was held liable even though a specific food item served at the restaurant was not pinpointed as the source of the outbreak.
The Liability of Nebraska Beef, Ltd. and Others
Nebraska Beef, Ltd., a supplier of ground beef components, has been linked to this outbreak. According to the CDC. This means that Nebraska Beef, Ltd, the processor of the ground beef, the seller of the ground beef, Barbecue Pit and others may all be liable and sued for compensation for losses:
- Medical expenses
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Loss of income
- Other damages
Nebraska Beef recalled over 5 million pounds of ground beef components because they may be contaminated with E. coli. (Read about the Nebraska Beef recall.)
