Salmonella Poisoning Compensation Claims

Salmonella is the collective name given to a group of bacteria which is the cause of food poisoning among humans. Salmonella is normally the result of food or water that is contaminated with germs, poisons or chemicals being consumed by humans. These microbes include one or a combination of viruses, bacteria and parasites.

This form of food poisoning will typically result in an infection which manifests in the human intestines. This will lead to the infected person experiencing severe discomfort and symptoms which include diarrhoea and sickness. These symptoms are the body’s way of trying to flush the poison out of its system.

There are approximately 2500 different strains of Salmonella that affect a large number of people throughout the UK, with some cases proving to be much more serious than others. To help prevent this there are an extensive range of government regulations that establishments serving food and drinks are required to adhere to. However, unfortunately some places do not follow these regulations as diligently as they should do. When this happens it puts the patrons of the establishment at risk of contracting different types of food poisoning.

If you have contracted salmonella poisoning as a result of the negligent behaviour of an establishment or an individual we are here for you. Our expert team of no win no fee solicitors can help you claim the salmonella poisoning compensation you could be entitled to. Contact our friendly team today for a no obligation discussion.

How Could I Have Contracted Salmonella Poisoning?

Though it is commonly located in foodstuffs, the salmonella bacteria can also be found in many animals. Similarly to humans the bacteria is to be found in the gut of both wild and farm animals. This will result in humans that consume food or drink products such as meat, eggs or milk from infected animals being at risk of contracting salmonella poisoning.

Salmonella can be prevented by following guidelines laid down by the Food Standard Agencies when cooking food. This is especially relevant in the case of meat products where cooking at the correct temperatures and for the right length of time significantly reduces any possibility of salmonella.

Food poisoning tends to be more common when travelling abroad as the rules and regulations around food hygiene are not always as stringent as here in the UK. Unfortunately this can result in tourists contracting various kinds of food poisoning including salmonella.

What are The Most Common Symptoms of Salmonella?

These symptoms tend to last between four and seven days and the majority of people recover fully without the need for specialist treatment.
