31/12/1999
Thank you very much for the brilliant service, professionalism and caring attitude whilst handling my recent claim.
Vicki, Sheffield
Rachel Eastwood of the specialist personal injury team has successfully settled personal injury claims for seven people affected by Salmonella food poisoning.
The seven people had all eaten sandwiches from the same sandwich shop in Liverpool, near to where they worked.
They suffered from nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea after eating the sandwiches, as well as severe stomach cramps, and were admitted to hospital to be rehydrated.
Symptoms lasted for periods of several days, up to six months.
The outbreak was investigated by the environmental health department at Liverpool City Council, and the shop's owner was convicted of six offences of selling unfit food and two offences of failing to comply with Food Hygiene Regulations.
The claims settled for between £500 and £3500.
Rachel Eastwood of the specialist personal injury team, acting for the clients, said:
"I am delighted to have won compensation for these victims of salmonella food poisoning who have suffered from various symptoms and deserve to be compensated for their distress."
