Food Poisoning Compensation Claims

Back to Other Compensation Claims

Food poisoning compensation claims can be made under established negligence principles.

At MyClaim, our panel of solicitors are experienced in using the necessary regulatory framework to ensure that your food poisoning claim has the maximum chance of success.

Although a compensation claim against the supplier or retailer is the obvious route, it can often be difficult to prove that the food in question caused the illness. It could have been the way the food was cooked at home, for instance, or the utensils used. Doctors treating patients with signs of food poisoning can be unsure of what caused the illness.

Causation is easier to establish where there are a number of victims with one common supplier.

If you think you are a victim of food poisoning it is important to keep a sample of the food in question if possible, report it to the outlet who sold it to you, and to the local authority.
