What Is Food Poisoning?

This is a term that’s commonly used to describe a number of food-borne infections that result from eating contaminated, spoiled or toxic food. The symptoms may last a few hours or linger for weeks. They range from a simple feeling of bloated stomach and nausea to severe vomiting, diarrhea, dehydration etc. Food poisoning is quite a common occurrence when people eat food cooked or served in unhygienic surroundings, stale or old food, meat that has not been properly stored and cooked, contaminated fresh salads and fruit, milk, eggs, dairy products etc. The symptoms are caused by bacteria, viruses or parasites that enter the human system through the food. These pathogens exist in most of the food we consume, but are killed during cooking.

Fenwick injury lawyers can help victims identify the type of food and the place where it was consumed, so that a compensation claim can be made against those responsible for its sale and distribution.

Challenges in Food Poisoning Liability

Restaurants, grocery stores, diners, delis etc are all common places where people can develop food poisoning due to contaminated products. A top personal injury lawyer from Ontario can help victims to file a claim of negligence or product liability based on the circumstances. If you contract food poisoning while on a cruise or tour, the cruise-ship owners and tour operators can be held liable.

However, it may be challenging to prove that it was a particular food item eaten at a particular location that caused the attack, unless a number of people suffer similar problems.
