San Antonio Food Poisoning Injury

Michael Grossman, Personal Injury Attorney in San Antonio TX, Discusses Tainted Food (Food Poisoning) Injuries

After the September 11 terrorist attacks, the Food and Drug Administration instituted a program that was designed to protect our food supply from potential contamination by terrorists. This is certainly a laudable program in and of itself, but it raises questions about how the Food and Drug Administration is really addressing contamination issues.

Simply based on the number of incidents, accidental contamination by our own food suppliers is a much more dangerous threat, and yet the new program instituted by the Food and Drug Administration does nothing to address these concerns. This might explain some of the recent contamination outbreaks we have seen, such as E. Coli in our produce and salmonella in our peanut butter. Hundreds of food products are recalled every year due to carelessness or negligent on the part of growers and producers here in our own country.

If you or a loved one has suffered an illness due to contaminated food, you may be eligible to seek compensation from responsible parties. Unfortunately, food production in our country is incredibly complicated. Even a single vegetable or cut of meat likely goes through dozens of different handlers before it reaches your table. Determining exactly who is liable for your injuries (and to what extent each party is liable) is a complex process. Given that most food contamination illnesses are the result of negligence by a number of different parties, and it is clear to see that these lawsuits can be very complex.

Thankfully, the experienced attorneys from Grossman Law Offices have twenty years of experience helping people who have been injured due to contaminated food. Our firm is intimately familiar with how the food production process works, and we know how to investigate a case and find specific clues that can indicate which parties were at fault for the contamination.
