Who Is at Fault for Food Poisoning Incidents?
When we take on a food poisoning injury claim, we immediately examine the facts and establish who was at fault for the patient’s injury. In some cases, one or more of the following parties could be found negligent:
- Food companies
- Restaurants
- Food retailers (such as grocery stores)
- Schools, nursing homes, or other organizations that serve food
Food manufacturers and retailers have a legal responsibility to properly prepare, process, and store their products. If a food manufacturer or retailer’s negligence or carelessness causes poisoning and illness, they may be liable for monetary damages. It is very important to hire an experienced food poisoning law firm in Atlanta, GA, who can fight for your rights.
