Food Poisoning Claims

Food poisoning is a fairly frequent complaint, and can be an extremely unpleasant experience. Its symptoms range from vomiting, cramps, diarrhoea and stomach upsets to those that are far more serious – damage to the nervous system, paralysis, and in rare cases, death.

Luckily, most cases of food poisoning are not serious and the symptoms are relatively short-lived.

It is estimated that more than 5 million people in the UK suffer from food poisoning each year. Food poisoning is usually caused by contaminated food and drink, and because the appearance, smell and taste of the food may not change, contaminated food can be very hard to spot.

Food tends to go bad when not kept in the right conditions – when there is too much warmth and moisture, bacteria can develop. The principal most common cases of food poisoning are Campylobacter, E.Coli and salmonella poisoning. It is also possible that the person responsible for serving the food has not taken responsibility to ensure that their hands are clean, or that the cutlery, crockery or cooker has been sanitised. In these circumstances, you may well be eligible to make a food poisoning compensation claim.
