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.

They were referred to me by a close friend of mine. Extremely professional, and asked the language I feel comfortable to discuss my case in. Alex Rusanov was my case manager and explained every aspect of my case during the process. I would highly recommend to use this law firm if you were injured in a car accident. Drive safe and stay alert!- Angela

My attorney, David Van Sant and his law firm were outstanding in handling my personal injury case. I was out of work for a considerable amount of time due to an automobile accident and Mr. Van Sant and his entire team were always kind, professional, knowledgeable and especially available. This law firm did their absolute best to answer and return calls and at no time did I ever feel like just a number or stranger. My experience with Mr. Van Sant and his law firm (from beginning to end), were very positive as well as favorable.
