Lawyer Says Listeria Victims Deserve Compensation

Nov. 4, 2011 - PRLog -- It is certainly not shocking that the listeria outbreak linked to cantaloupes from Colorado has led to the filing of lawsuits claiming wrongful death and personal injury.
The outbreak is the deadliest in more than 10 years and illnesses continue to occur because listeria illness can occurs even months after having eaten the contaminated fruit.
The illnesses are linked to Jensen Farms in Holly, Colo., which voluntarily issued a recall of its Rocky Ford brand cantaloupes.
Several lawsuits have been sought by victims and families of victims in Oklahoma, Colorado and Texas. I know those harmed by negligence deserve to be recompensed for their medical costs, pain and suffering and wage losses.
Such cases always provide unique challenges and that’s why experienced legal representation is so essential for victims and their families.
It is probable that later suits may be filed on behalf of victims against other entities, as state and federal officials trace the paths of contamination. The chain of distribution for the melons includes good stores along with processing facilities and shippers.
If you or someone you love was sickened by this outbreak or any other food-borne outbreak, you should contact an knowledgeable personal injury attorney to pursue your legal rights.
