Charlotte Food Poisoning Attorney
Foodborne illnesses have become more common and highly publicized. Major restaurants, grocery stores, and food corporations have come under fire for being at the center of a wave of food poisonings. People who have experienced food poisoning or other foodborne illnesses have options. A Charlotte Food Poisoning Lawyer can help victims understand their legal rights and determine whether they can take action against the business responsible for serving, distributing, or cultivating the contaminated food.
If you have fallen ill after eating, especially if there is a known issue with that restaurant or type of food, we can help. At Ayers, Whitlow & Dressler, our lawyers provide comprehensive personal injury and food poisoning representation to clients in the Charlotte, North Carolina, area. We know how devastating these illnesses can be, often leaving you with medical bills and missed time at work. Our goal is to help you recover compensation for the losses you have suffered.
Common Food Poisoning Symptoms
Food poisoning symptoms appear anywhere from a few hours after eating to three days after the contaminated food was ingested. Some take longer – up to four weeks. Types of common symptoms experienced by food poisoning victims include stomach cramps, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. More serious cases can cause fever, chills, blurry vision and even life-threatening complications.
Though some illnesses are swift and end before you can get to a doctor, it is best to seek medical attention if you have severe symptoms or if your symptoms linger. Having medical tests done to show what made you sick can help build a case on your behalf.
