Personal injury claims for chemical and bacterial poisoning

Both chemical and bacterial poisoning can result in serious health conditions and may in some cases prove fatal.

Here at YouClaim we run a cost free workplace compensation service that begins with our legal advisors, who, in confidence and without obligation, can advise claimants about their legal rights and, where appropriate, then appoint them a suitable specialist from our panel of leading personal injury lawyers.

The symptoms of workplace bacterial poisoning, whether it is caused by an E-Coli outbreak on a farm, by food poisoning in a canteen or in some other circumstance, will usually become apparent after one to thirty-six hours of exposure.

However, health complications resulting from bacterial poisoning may last for a long time and become debilitating, weakening the body's immune system and sometimes causing secondary complications.

Chemical poisoning can also present immediate symptoms that require urgent medical assistance. Additionally, some cases of chemical poisoning may occur as a consequence of long-term, cumulative exposure to harmful toxins and in some cases, such as that of vinyl chloride monomer poisoning, may only become apparent many years after exposure to a harmful substance.

Members of the public may also be affected by both chemical and bacterial poisoning as a result of eating contaminated food. For example, micro organisms such as campylobacter or salmonella may be present in restaurant food as a result of inadequate food hygiene practices, resulting in diarrhoea, cramping, abdominal pain, and fever.

Chemical food poisoning may occur when food is contaminated with chemicals such as pesticides, fertilizers or insecticides.
