Unsafe Food Lawsuit Attorneys
When we purchase food from a grocery store or a restaurant, we expect that it will be properly prepared and safe for us to eat. When food safety standards are overlooked at any point in the process, however, it can result in serious harm to those who consume the tainted food. Any company that produces, processes, or serves tainted foods can be held accountable for the damage they cause in a personal injury lawsuit.
Biren Law Group has extensive experience in handling cases involving injuries resulting from the consumption of adulterated foods. We can help you hold those responsible for selling the adulterated food accountable for the harm you sustained. Our Brentwood food poisoning lawyers have created techniques designed to handle the most complex of product liability cases and obtain maximum compensation for our clients.

Determining Liability for Tainted Food
Biren Law Group has extensive experience in proving liability in adulterated food cases. We know how food problems occur and direct our investigations to ascertain who in the food delivery process caused the adulteration.
Experience shows that food adulteration can occur at many stages of its delivery to the consumer, including:
- Bad water or fertilizer used by the food grower
- Contamination caused by dirty processing machines
- Tainted ingredients delivered to a food processor
- Unsafe sanitary conditions at the restaurant
Food can become contaminated anywhere in the delivery process, from the fields or barns to the kitchen. The most common types of food contamination include:
- Salmonella
- Listeria
- E. coli
- Norovirus
- Campylobacter
- Hepatitis A
Sometimes, it is more effective to go after the producer of the tainted food than the restaurant or grocery store that sold it to you. We will explore all possibilities using investigators and experts with specific knowledge about food-related problems, effectively maximizing your chance at recovering financial compensation.
Dangers of Contaminated or Unsafe Food
In contaminated food cases, there is an increased risk of harm to children, older adults, those with compromised immune systems, and women who are pregnant. In these individuals, or anyone affected by food poisoning, damage can be done to internal organs such as the kidneys and liver. Diarrhea is the most common result of food poisoning, which can lead to severe dehydration and other health problems.
