Food poisoning often is mild and lasts only a few hours; other times, symptoms are more severe and food poisoning victims face serious symptoms that sometimes land them in the hospital. If your food poisoning occurred because of another party’s negligence—often a food manufacturer, distributor, retailer, or restaurant—you could be eligible for compensation. A Miami food poisoning lawyer can evaluate your case and advise you on the best course of action for your circumstances.

When Should I Call a Miami Food Poisoning Lawyer?

Food poisoning can lead to lifelong medical problems when someone ingests contaminated food. If you’ve incurred medical expenses, missed work, or lost a loved one due to food poisoning, you should consult with a Miami food poisoning lawyer. Not all food poisoning occurs at restaurants or other establishments that serve food. Sometimes the groceries you buy at the store are contaminated, so you might also have a case if you suffered food poisoning after cooking a home meal. Regardless of the source of your illness, you should always call an attorney who can review your case and determine your eligibility for compensation.

What Are the Symptoms of Food Poisoning?

Those who suffer from food poisoning can experience a wide range of uncomfortable, sometimes painful symptoms. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the most common symptoms of
food poisoning include:

  • Upset stomach/nausea
  • Stomach cramps
  • Vomiting
  • Fever
  • Diarrhea

Common Causes of Food Poisoning

Different types of bacteria come from different sources, and some foods are more prone to contamination than others. Most food poisoning occurs because of bacteria, viruses, or parasites during processing, production, cooking, or storage. Specific causes of food poisoning include:

  • Failure to wash hands, utensils, and surfaces when preparing food
  • Cross-contamination when raw foods are kept next to ready-to-eat or prepared foods
  • Undercooked foods, especially meat and seafood
  • Failure to properly refrigerate perishable foods
  • Failure to properly thaw frozen foods
  • Parasites or bacteria from unpasteurized juices, ciders, and dairy products

What Damages Can Be Recovered in a Food Poisoning Case?

If you choose to take legal action after suffering food poisoning, you could receive compensation for damages related to your illness. Common damages recovered by food poisoning victims include compensation for:

  • Medical expenses including ambulance service, emergency room treatment, diagnostic tests and scans, hospitalization, medication, and transportation costs to and from the doctor/hospital
  • Estimated future medical treatment costs if food poisoning leads to long-term complications that require ongoing care
  • Lost wages for time missed from work due to illness, treatment, and recovery
  • Estimated future lost wages if a rare case of severe food poisoning leads to a permanent disability that prevents someone from returning to work
  • Pain and suffering

If you lost a loved one because of food poisoning, you could be eligible to recover compensation for funeral expenses, burial costs, and loss of companionship. Your Miami food poisoning lawyer can review your wrongful death case and advise you on which damages apply to your situation.
