If you or a loved one has been seriously injured by food borne illness, especially those caused by negligence or failure to follow safe food handling procedures, you may want to discuss your situation with a food poisoning attorney who is experienced in food poisoning cases. It is important to follow up as soon as possible after your illness, while evidence is still available and access to witnesses and other parties involved is easiest.
The selection of a food poisoning attorney to represent you is a very important decision. You or your family will want to talk to several attorneys, and as you interview plaintiff’s lawyers and law firms you should ask about their experience in cases similar to yours. You want a law firm whose food poisoning attorneys have significant trial experience with food borne illness cases, and sufficient assets to aggressively prosecute your case.
When Casey Gerry takes on a food borne illness case, an experienced partner assumes responsibility for the case, and assembles a legal team of attorneys, investigators, paralegals, and other staff to investigate and research the case. When we take on a case, we commit to doing everything reasonably necessary to develop and prosecute the case, with the aim of securing the most favorable resolution possible for each and every client.
Unlike most California personal injury firms, we have a full-time investigative staff whose job it is to go into the field and thoroughly investigate every reasonable claim. In cases involving food borne illness or death, gathering the facts and evidence as soon as possible can be critical to the success of a case. Casey Gerry offers prospective clients unparalleled resources to accomplish the necessary investigation.
Another important consideration in choosing your counsel is to find a food poisoning attorney with whom you feel comfortable, have confidence in, and can trust. There will likely come a time when you must decide whether to resolve your case through settlement or take it to trial. At that point, your confidence and trust in your lawyer will be of vital importance. Casey Gerry would be honored to be the firm you select.
The state of California has laws called statutes of limitation, that prescribe how much time you have in which to file a claim or a lawsuit related to the event. Because of these statutes, it is urgent that if you or a loved one believes you have a claim related to food poisoning, you should contact an experienced plaintiff’s attorney so that your claim can be evaluated before time runs out.
