Washington State Food Injury Attorneys
As much as we expect the products we use and the places that we visit to be safe and secure, we also expect that the food we eat will be safe and will not cause us harm. Unfortunately, food poisoning cases are quite common in Washington state and across the United States and can cause quite significant injuries.
While many food poisoning cases result in minor discomfort that abates after a couple of days, other cases can involve damaging bacteria, parasites, chemicals and toxins that can cause severe damage to the digestive and nervous systems, especially in children and the elderly. Pathogens such as E. coli, Hepatitis, Salmonella and others appear in food after contamination and can cause a wide array of serious health problems.
In many cases, food poisoning is the result of negligent food handling. At Feldman & Lee, P.S., we represent the victims of food poisoning in Lynnwood, Kent and the Seattle area and work hard to recover monetary compensation for their injuries. Whether you ate poisoned restaurant food, fresh produce, or packaged foods, we will fight to protect your rights and will always be on your side.
The Cause of Food Poisoning and Food Injuries
At Feldman & Lee P.S., our lawyers have seen an unfortunate number of cases involving food poisoning and negligent food handling. In addition to the various chemicals, toxins, parasites and pathogens that can cause illnesses in food, there are other ways that negligent food handling can result in an injury. For example, one of our clients bit into a piece of bread and ended up breaking his tooth on a rock that was baked into the bread.
Other food poisoning cases involve people who handled food who had a communicable disease or who did not adequately wash their hands after using the bathroom. In addition, the preparation of foods and the failure to wash cutting boards, knives and other utensils between uses can result in food poisoning. Whether chemicals or other toxins are added during the manufacturing or the preparation of the food in question, food poisoning has the potential to cause significant harm.

Please contact one of the attorneys at Feldman & Lee to discuss your case and the contingency fee agreement in further detail.
