In Queensland, visiting a restaurant or cafe and dining out is popular. With everyone leading busy lives, getting a quick takeaway or going to a restaurant is convenient and requires far less effort than making food at home. The average amount spent on restaurants and takeout food in Queensland is $230 a month. Every time you eat food from a venue outside your home, you trust the vendor is following food safety guidelines. This is not always the case.
Each year in Australia, there are about 5.4 million cases of food-related gastro and 80 fatalities. Most of these food illness cases will result in mild nausea and vomiting, which end in 24 to 48 hours, but others can be more serious with long-term effects on your life.
In Queensland, there are strict time limits for making a food poisoning claim. Failure to lodge within this period may prevent you from receiving a settlement. If you believe you have a case, you should begin immediately.
Your physical indicators for illness due to bad food and salmonella food poisoning can vary depending on the cause of your sickness and your tolerance to that type of infection. The symptoms of food poisoning are:
When you have been exposed to dodgy food and suffered a loss, there are some crucial steps you should follow to improve your legal outcome:
Public liability claims are based on evidence. We recommend you store any remaining food in the fridge for testing purposes. You should also advise the food vendor on your circumstances so they can take steps to ensure no one else is impacted.
Splatt Lawyers provides legal advice for food poisoning compensation from ten QLD-wide locations.
For your solicitor to succeed in a food compensation claim, they must show that the entity or person who caused your illness was at fault. That when the incident occurred, they failed their duty of care. And that due to this failure, you experienced suffering and loss. Your lawyer will explain more about how this works when they review your circumstances for free.
When your claim succeeds, the insurance company of the person or entity who caused your loss is usually liable to fund your compensation. Most businesses in Queensland have public liability insurance to protect them financially when they fail their duty of care.
The time it takes to settle food poisoning cases varies because every claim is unique. The severity of your symptoms, how you acquire food poisoning, and the complexity or simplicity of your claim all factor into the time it takes to complete.
Our public liability legal team will provide you with a timeframe during a free case assessment.
When restaurants, cafes, fast food providers or other food vendors fail to comply with health codes, you can sue for food poisoning damages. However, success generally relies on a thorough understanding of public liability law concerning foodborne illnesses.
Additionally, you must have compelling evidence to prove who is to blame for your loss. This is a situation where our personal injury lawyers can help.
Regarding foodborne illnesses, a stomach bug usually develops over a 24- to 48-hour period before causing symptoms. On the other hand, food poisoning generally presents symptoms, often about two to six hours after you’ve eaten contaminated food.
