It is estimated by the Center for Disease control that 76 million food borne illness, or food poisoning, cases occur each year in the United States. This means that one in four Americans contracts a foodborne illness annually after eating foods contaminated with such pathogens as E. Coli, Salmonella, Hepatitis and Listeria. Most people are unaware of the source of their illness, but in extreme cases that require medical or hospital treatment the source of the illness will become known and at that point legal action can be taken against the manufacturer, retailer or the restaurant where the food was purchased or consumed.

At Roselli & Associates. P.A. we recognize that handling these cases require an aggressive and thorough investigation along with a compassionate understanding of the needs of our client during the difficult period that follows. Our hard work and commitment to seeking justice for our clients and their loved ones, is the driving force behind our reputation and our success in obtaining significant recoveries for our clients.

Christine B., a 57 year old school teacher was rendered a quadriplegic and ultimately died after nearly two (2) years and over $1 million in medical bills. She contracted Listeriosis from eating contaminated hot dogs and lunchmeats processed and sold by a large supermarket chain. Unlike other pathogens, listeria monocytogenes [LM] may not manifest symptoms for several weeks leading to a delayed diagnosis, long after the food product and packaging are gone. For that reason, LM cases are complex and costly, requiring complex expert analysis of the DNA (serotype) of the pathogen and the eating and shopping habits of the victim to establish the causal connection between the illness and the food product. Contentious litigation and discovery revealed that the processing plant had an alarming history of product contamination that was ignored by management so as to avoid a massive recall. The plant shipped over 1.7 million pounds of product to its supermarkets during this time and it was only after the lab tipped off the USDA that a massive recall was initiated. By then it was too late for Christine and the bacteria attacked and destroyed her cervical spinal cord. Christine was survived by three adult daughters who continue to be haunted by the feelings of helplessness and hopelessness while watching their mother suffer the nightmare of horrors of quadriplegia until she died. After over four years of litigation the case was settled for a substantial confidential sum.
