From time to time, everyone will have eaten something that doesn't agree with him or her. If you have eaten a meal at a café, restaurant or anywhere that serves food, and felt ill afterwards, you may have suffered food poisoning. What many people are unaware of is that if you suffered food poisoning through no fault of your own, it is classed as a personal injury and you could be entitled to make a food poisoning compensation claim.

Information regarding food poisoning

Often, the food poisoning is relatively mild and short lived. Stomach upsets, vomiting and diarrhoea are all common symptoms, in these cases a trip to the doctor and over the counter medicines can effectively reduce the discomfort and the symptoms clear up in a day or two.

However, each year thousands of people in the UK suffer much more serious and prolonged food poisoning, especially the elderly, young children, pregnant women and those already ill. Some of the diseases associated with food poisoning are fatal.

The most common bacterium known to cause food poisoning is Salmonella, but there are a wide variety of less common but more dangerous bacteria such as E Coli and Listeria. These bacteria cause more serious symptoms and most sufferers are hospitalised as there is a significant risk to health amongst the very old and very young.

Food poisoning can occur when there are problems cooking foods at home, but the bacteria responsible can also be spread through poor hygiene in restaurant kitchens or other food preparation areas. Often there are no visual clues as to whether the food you are being served is contaminated, and symptoms can take anything from a few hours to several weeks to appear.
