Attorney needed - food poising case

#1

During my last trip to Vegas in July, I got a very severe case of food
posioning from the Palace Station coffee shop. It sent me to the
hospital for some 12 hours and I was still sick 3 days later. It took
over a week for me to recover. Now I am being jerked around by thier
sel insurance claim office. In sort, they want me to provide all the
records, and will not even try to get any from the hosiptal and
doctors. Despite me giving them a release form to do so. Typical
stalling tackit to prevent paying a claim. Does anybody out their
know of a good local Vegas Attorney who would like a open and shut
case of food posioning.

Hi, did you immediately notify the Nevada department of health?
Did they go in and take samples of any of the food that you suspect
made you ill? Did you save any of your vomit for testing? I don't
mean to sound disgusting, but it is usually pretty difficult to
track where and how food poisoning may have occured. Food bourne
illness, depending on whether it's a bacteria, toxin, or parasite
can take anywhere from minutes to 48 to several days to cause a
reaction. Did they tell you at the hospital whether you had E.
colli, shigella, campylobacter, salmonella, etc.?

I was wondering if there is a way that you can avoid being poisened
by the restaurants where you decide to eat, I know it is probably
impossble to completly avoid being poisened, but I'm not a big
eater,and I eat to live, not live to eat, so I can pick and choose
what I want to eat and if something dosen't seem like it is cooked
enough, or isn't being kept at the right temperature I could go without
eating it, in Las Vegas I generally just eat a bowl of rolled oats for
breakfast, and hit the buffet for lunch and dinner?

Your thoughts are good, avoid anything you are not confident in. The
main culprits being what are known as "potentially hazardous foods",
meat, dairy and poultry.

Clark County has one of the most thorough Food Safety programs in the
country, but even that cannot stop outbreaks like the California and
Flamingo.

Generally one is safer dining in Clark County than almost any place
else in the US, but with so many visitors and so many restaurants bad
things will happen. The LVRJ has a weekly report of inspections, but
due to the nature of some foods, serious accidents can happen at good
places.

LOL!

But with some of these things having an incubation peiod of some 24-48 hours or more,
you could starve before the food taster dies.
