Food Poisoning Attorney Fred Pritzker Speaks Out for Food Safety
Food safety attorney Fred Pritzker will be speaking at the Illinois Environmental Health Association Central Chapter Annual Education Conference May 13-14. The association, whose mission is to “advance the Environmental Health Profession and promote sound environmental health practices throughout the State of Illinois,” had this to say, in anticipation of Fred’s presentation:
“We are extremely excited to have Fred Pritzker, president and founder of the national food safety law firm, Pritzker Olsen, P.A., in Minneapolis, Minnesota come speak to us about how lawyers evaluate and prove foodborne illness claims. Mr. Pritzker and members of his firm are frequent commentators on food safety issues and have been interviewed and profiled in a number of media outlets including the New York Times, Wall Street Journal and CNN.”
Food Safety Lawyers: Education and Outreach
Pritzker Olsen food poisoning attorneys not only represent clients who’ve been sickened in foodborne illness outbreaks, they recognize the importance of disseminating information to the general public about how they can be “food safe.” They carry this out by posting food safety information on the Pritzker Olsen Web site, distributing press releases, and participating in speaking engagements such as this one.
Attorneys experienced in foodborne illness law start building a case by proving three essential elements of a foodborne illness case:
- Fault: Lawyers must prove that the company/person who sold or processed the food did something wrong in the processing, preparation, storage, or handling of the food
- Causation: Food poisoning attorneys must prove that this fault is a) what caused the food to get contaminated and b) that contamination is what caused the victim’s illness
- Damages: Attorneys must show the harms and losses that the victim has suffered because of eating the contaminated food
