New Federal legislation regarding food safety only underscores the reality of the enhanced exposure food purveyors are facing today.
Haight Brown & Bonesteel is dedicated to building long term relationships with product manufacturers and distributors by offering advice and protecting their interests when faced with claims and litigation. For over 20 years, we have been involved in the defense of adulterated food cases. As science and technology have evolved, our attorneys have kept abreast of food safety issues to ensure we are able to provide the best defense.
Our attorneys have experience with cases involving allegations of:
- foreign objects in food,
- food poisoning of individuals, and
- outbreaks involving multiple exposures to toxins in food
In the Food Safety Litigation Practice Group, we have assembled an interdisciplinary team of experienced trial attorneys specializing in products liability and health sciences. We have been particularly effective in successfully litigating complex food illness issues and extricating our clients from litigation. However, this is not a group that shies away from the courtroom. While we keep an eye open for reasonable settlement opportunities, if litigation is the client's best alternative, we employ an aggressive, strategic approach to achieve the best possible results.
