West Shore Health Center in Warwick, Rhode Island, Hit Hard by DeFusco's Zeppoles Salmonella Outbreak
The elderly are so vulnerable to Salmonella poisoning. For those sickened at West Shore Health Center by DeFusco’s zeppoles contaminated with Salmonella, the cases of Salmonella poisoning were even worse because these victims had health problems that further weakened their immune systems. Sadly, one of the few real pleasures these people still have, eating special sweet treats, almost killed some of them.
The elderly residents of West Shore Health Center in Warwick, Rhode Island, should be compensated for their medical bills, pain and suffering, emotional distress and other damages. In addition, the compensation needs to take into account how the Salmonella poisoning from the zeppoles has permanently altered their health, impeded their rehabilitation and generally lessened their quality of life.
So many of us at our law firm can relate to the families of these dearly loved elderly people. Having a sick family member is hard enough, and it is tragic that this hardship was made exponentially more difficult by the apparent negligence of DeFusco’s Bakery. It is hard to imagine that anyone in the food industry would store pastries in cardboard boxes that had held raw eggs. Most of our children know better than that, especially after the huge Salmonella outbreak that sickened about 2000 people nationwide (that is the CDC number, but the actual number is far higher).
Our law firm is one of a handful that represent Salmonella outbreak victims nationwide, and perhaps the only major Salmonella litigation law firm with an attorney, David Szerlag, who is licensed to practice in Rhode Island.
Attorney David Szerlag is part of our Salmonella litigation team at Pritzker Olsen law firm. He recently was one of the lead attorneys in multidistrict litigation (MDL) that resulted in a multimillion dollar settlement for people injured by a defective product. MDL is like a class action lawsuit. David was one of three attorneys who oversaw the pretrial procedures for dozens of attorneys throughout the United States.
