San Antonio Food-borne Illness Lawyers
Food-borne illness, also known as food poisoning, is one of the major causes of hospitalization every year in the United States. In fact, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports nearly 48 million cases of food-borne illness every year in the United States, which result in approximately 3,000 deaths. Food companies and restaurants are responsible for providing customers with quality products, but they can put customers at risk of serious harm if they act negligently.
If you or a loved one has suffered from food-borne illness due to the recklessness of a restaurant or food manufacturer, you may be eligible to receive financial compensation to help with medical bills and other related expenses.
