Understanding E. coli Contamination at McDonald’s
E. coli is a harmful bacterium that can cause significant gastrointestinal distress, including symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, bloody diarrhea, and abdominal pain. In severe cases, E. coli infections can lead to kidney failure and other long-term health complications. Health authorities have identified McDonald’s restaurants across Colorado as the source of the current outbreak, raising concerns about food safety standards.
Your Legal Rights as a Victim in Colorado
Colorado law holds restaurants and food producers to strict standards to ensure the safety of the food served to the public. When these standards are not met and cause illness, affected individuals can pursue legal action.
Potential claims in this outbreak may be based on:
- Negligence – McDonald’s failed to implement or maintain adequate food safety measures, leading to the contamination.
- Strict Liability – McDonald’s may be liable for the harm caused, even if negligence is not proven.
- Breach of Warranty – The food served did not meet the implied, legal guarantee that it was safe for consumption.
Potential Compensation for E. coli Victims
If you or a family member contracted E. coli due to this outbreak, you may be entitled to compensation for:
- Medical Costs – Covering emergency care, hospitalization, medications, and any ongoing medical treatments.
- Lost Wages – Reimbursement for income lost due to your illness and recovery time.
- Pain and Suffering – Compensation for both the physical pain and emotional distress caused by your illness.
- Punitive Damages – In cases of gross negligence, additional damages may be awarded to deter future misconduct.
Our legal team will carefully evaluate your case to ensure that all potential damages are considered and pursued to the maximum benefit of those affected by this negligence.
