ST. LOUIS, MO. – Simon Law is partnering with Jory Lange of The Lange Law Firm to represent victims of an E. coli outbreak that happened in St. Louis County this month.
More than 100 people have been sickened, 12 people have been hospitalized and all ate at five events catered by Andre’s Banquet & Catering, according to the St. Louis County Health Department.
Many of those who got E. coli food poisoning are Rockwood Summit High School students or parents who were attending an end-of-the-season band banquet.
“We want to ensure the victims of this outbreak are able to focus on their health while our investigation into the source of the outbreak continues,” said Simon Law Attorney Erica Slater. “That is why it is important to contact us now, so we can protect your legal rights and you can recover.”
Lange has represented scores of food poisoning victims in E. coli outbreaks across the United States and represents over 335 people who contracted Shigella food poisoning in the LongHorn Steakhouse Shigella outbreak in St. Clair County, Illinois.
“The scary thing about this E. coli outbreak is, as a consumer, there’s nothing you can do to tell whether the food that you are buying is safe,” said Jory Lange of The Lange Law Firm. “You can’t taste, smell, or see E. coli. Food that is contaminated with E. coli may look, smell, and taste just like any other food.”
Lange also says businesses that have been the source of outbreaks can and do survive – with some coming back more successful than before the outbreaks, as they take responsibility for their actions and operate transparently about their remedies.
If you suspect that you or someone you love has been infected with E. coli by food you ate from Andre’s Banquet’s and Catering at one of these events and are interested in making a legal claim for compensation, we can help.
