E-coli Claims
At Irwin Mitchell, we have unrivalled experience working for clients who have infections caused by E-coli, legionnaires disease and salmonella food poisoning.
The effects of these infections can be severe and all of them can be due to poor management of food or exposure to them in the environment. If you are suffering with e-coli infection, legionnaires disease or salmonella food poisoning, you should take legal advice.

E-coli infection is usually contracted from eating food products that have been contaminated, or from coming into contact with animals. The symptoms include anything from mild diarrhoea to more serious conditions such as Haemolytic Uraemic Syndrome (HUS). In some cases e-coli infection can lead to kidney failure and may be fatal.
E-coli infection is most commonly associated with minced beef and other dairy-related foods, but can also be introduced from poorly managed farms, and from contact with animals at farms.
Salmonella food poisoning is often contracted while abroad on holiday, but can also be contracted in the UK when food has been poorly stored or prepared. Chicken, poultry and eggs are the most common cause and symptoms can extend from diarrhoea and general sickness to fatalities in the most vulnerable. (i.e. very old or very young.).
If you have been affected by salmonella food poisoning, legionnaires disease or e-coli, whether on holiday or in the UK you may have a legal case.
