KALISPELL, Mont., Aug. 1, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- National E. coli Lawyer Jory Lange and prominent Montana law firm Hoyt & Blewett PLLC are
helping E. coli victims obtain compensation for their medical bills
and lost wages. Fourteen people contracted E. coli O157:H7
and, tragically, one person died in an E. coli outbreak in
Flathead County, Montana.
"This tragedy was 100% preventable," says E. coli Lawyer
Jory Lange. "First, E. coli should
never have been in the ground beef that the beef processor sold to
the restaurants. E. coli O157:H7 is an adulterant and selling any
food containing E. coli O157:H7 is against the law. Second, if the
restaurants had just properly cooked the burgers, it would have
killed the E. coli bacteria before these bacteria ever had a
chance to infect any restaurant patrons. Both the ground
beef processer who sold E. coli-tainted meat and the
restaurants who failed to properly cook the burgers are responsible
for this tragedy."
"We're here to help," says Anders
Blewett. "For 40 years our Montana law firm has been dedicated to helping
hardworking Montanans get back on their feet after serious personal
injuries. We know how important compensation for medical bills and
lost wages can be."
The Montana Department of Livestock announced that Lower Valley
Processing in Kalispell, Montana,
has "recalled all non-intact, raw products (e.g., ground meat
products) produced from animals slaughtered on June 5, 2024, because they may be adulterated
with Escherichia coli 0157:H7."
The Montana Department of Public Health and Human Services
reported that, "The following restaurants are associated with the
14 cases of reported illness in this outbreak: Gunsight Saloon;
Hops Downtown Grill; Tamarack Brewing Company; the Lodge at
Whitefish Lake; and Harbor Grille. Furthermore, based on
information provided through case investigation, one individual has
died after exposure to wagyu beef consumed at Harbor Grille."
