Pritzker | Ruohonen is a leader in food poisoning law. The firm was the first law firm to file a lawsuit against Dole in the 2005 E. coli O157:H7 outbreak linked to Dole bagged salad. In a recent case, the firm developed legal theories to ensure that victims of an outbreak would be compensated for injuries even though it was not clear which of two processors was at fault. As a result of the efforts of attorney Fred Pritzker and his team at Pritzker | Ruohonen, the case settled for millions of dollars, including over $3,000,000 for a mother who had lost her unborn twins.
