First Personal Injury Lawsuit Filed In Taco Bell E-Coli Outbreak

Posted by Editor | Posted in Personal Injury News

New York personal injury attorneys for an 11-year old boy in Long Island have filed the first lawsuit against Taco Bell in wake of a recent three-state E-Coli outbreak that the fast food chain believes was caused by its green onions.  

Taco Bell is accused of negligence in the personal injury lawsuit after the child ate three tacos last month and had to be hospitalized because of his resulting illness. The suit does not specify any monetary damages. The boy is currently back in school.

There have now been 46 confirmed cases of the Taco Bell E-Coli outbreak in New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Taco Bell is currently in the process of pulling green onions from its 5,800 locations nationwide.

This personal injury case follows a September E-Coli scare in which three people died and more than 200 fell ill after eating packaged spinach. E-Coli has been estimated to cause some 73,000 infections and 60 deaths in the United States each year.
