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.

Why not get in touch and allow us to look into the circumstances and advise you on your legal options. There will be no initial charge.
