Boston Injury Attorneys/Food poisoning

Food poisoning has become a real threat in the United States over the past decade as restaurants, grocery stores and food processors continue to violate health and safety laws and the government continues to do little or nothing about it until after someone is seriously injured or killed.

At the Law Offices of Jeffrey S. Glassman we understand what it takes to represent clients dealing with serious or fatal cases of food poisoning. Our attorneys, investigators and support staff will thoroughly review the facts and circumstances of your case, pull city and state health department reports on the offending business, and consult you about the best course of action. Our Boston injury lawyers are dedicated to fighting for your rights and to ensuring that the business is prevented from sickening other customers through unsafe, unhealthy or unsanitary food-handling conditions.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates there are an estimated 76 million cases of food poisoning each year in the United States. Incredibly, that means 1 in 4 consumers will be affected; senior citizens, young children and those already dealing with health problems are most likely to suffer serious or life-threatening complications.

The federal government estimates that 325,000 people will be hospitalized and 5,000 will die each year from food poisoning.

Foodborne illness is preventable and is typically caused by improper handling, preparation or storage of food -- or by unclean or unsanitary conditions. Raw or undercooked foods can also lead to food poisoning.
