How Serious Is Food Poisoning?
According to the Centers for Disease Control, the CDC estimates that 76 million Americans get sick, more than 300,000 are hospitalized, and 5,000 people die from food poisoning each year.
Food poisoning can cause vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. It can cause you to faint and have other injuries. And most seriously, food poisoning can cause death. You can incur huge medical bills and lose significant time from work. If the cause of your food poisoning can be linked by expert evidence (see Testing for Food Poisoning below), you will be entitled to be reimbursed for these losses and for your pain and suffering.
Food poisoning is often the result of negligence of improper hygienic habits in the food industry from the farm and those who pick the vegetables and fruit, to the food preparers and servers in restaurants who must also constantly wash their hands as they touch different foods such as raw chicken or fish.
Testing For Food Poisoning
If you’ve had food poisoning, don’t get rid of the food that you believe made you sick. At the hospital, make sure PFGE testing is done. PFGE testing will determine if you were made sick by the same source that made others sick and will provide valuable evidence against a restaurant grocery store, food processor and others in the food chain.
Restaurants aren’t required to report cases of food poisoning. You won’t necessarily see it on the news when others are sickened at the same restaurant or fair. Hospitals in most cases won’t test you unless you ask. It’s therefore up to you to tie the dots together with this testing as soon as possible along with our own investigation in order for you to have a food poisoning case that can be proved to the satisfaction of a court.

Frequency of Food Poisoning and Foodborne Illness in California and Globally
Each year, Norovirus is estimated there are 125 million cases of foodborne illness in the world and 35,000 deaths on a global scale. Norovirus reportedly causes 2,500 outbreaks in the U.S. and accounts for approximately 58% of foodborne illness in the U.S.
Severe outcomes which result in hospitalization and death primarily affect children under five years of age, the elderly, and individuals with chronic illnesses and immunodeficiencey diseases who may not only be more susceptible but who may spread the virus for an extended period of time. Medications can also suppress a person’s immune system and make a person more prone to foodborne disease.
Second in frequency of the causes of foodborne illness is Hepatitis A which causes another 14 million cases of foodborne illness across the globe each year and 28,000 fatalities.
Third in frequency today is the Hepatitis E virus which may have been undercounted for years and which can cause severe illness, especially for those with other health conditions and which can result in chronic liver failure and neurological damage.
A person can get food poisoning by eating or drinking contaminated food, beverages including water, from bacteria on surfaces, and from others, but also from food not washed well or handled in a sanitary way, not cooked to a safe internal temperature, or left out too long.
