Questions

Answers, without the hedging

These are the questions people actually ask us, answered as plainly as the subject allows. Where the honest answer is "it depends on your state," we say that rather than guessing.

About this service

Is this a law firm?

No. Food Injury is a free service that connects people to independent attorneys handling foodborne illness and food product cases. We don't practice law, don't give legal advice, and nobody here is your lawyer.

What does it cost?

Nothing. We're paid a flat advertising fee by the firms we refer to. It doesn't vary with your case value and never comes out of a recovery.

I'm sick right now. What's the one thing to do?

Ask your doctor for a stool culture and ask that the organism be identified and the isolate retained. Then report it to your local health department. Both are free, both take minutes, and neither can be done once you've recovered.

Will you tell me if I don't have a case?

Yes, and it happens often in this category. Most food poisoning isn't provable and most claims aren't economically viable. We'd rather tell you that than keep you waiting on a callback.

Will you sell my information?

We share your submission with the law firm we refer you to and the providers who transmit and store it. We don't sell it to marketing lists or data brokers, and you can revoke consent to be contacted at any time.

Everything else, by page

Each of these is answered on the page that covers it, in context.
