Food poisoning can turn your favorite meal into one of your worst experiences, especially if it leads to a more severe diagnosis like norovirus. Unfortunately, according to the CDC, over 48 million Americans contract food poisoning each year in the United States. Out of those millions of people, about 128,000 are hospitalized, and over 3,000 cases of food poisoning tragically result in death. At Morgan & Morgan, our lawyers understand how difficult it can be to recover from food poisoning, be it physically or financially, for you and those who depend on you. If you or a loved one have contracted food poisoning due to the negligence of a food supplier, we want to help you receive the compensation you deserve.

What Are the Signs of Norovirus?
Symptoms of norovirus will surface within 12 to 48 hours after consuming certain contaminated goods, which commonly can include fruit, water, vegetables, leafy greens, and shellfish. Victims can expect to usually experience nausea, fatigue, muscle pain, stomach pain or cramps, diarrhea, a low-grade fever, and vomiting. Symptoms can last anywhere from three to seven days and victims can expect to continue to shed the virus for up to two weeks after recovery. However, it’s important to note that some people with the norovirus infection may show no signs or symptoms, but they are still contagious and can spread the virus.
Don’t wait—if you believe you or a loved one has been exhibiting symptoms of norovirus after consuming food from a restaurant, grocery store, or a food distributor, immediately contact a health professional to receive treatment.
