We recently secured a successful settlement for a client who suffered a severe anaphylactic reaction after eating a meal at a mall food court. Despite assurances from staff that the meal was free of allergens, it contained a known ingredient to which our client was allergic, triggering a medical emergency.

Although we could not locate a proof of purchase due to a lost receipt, our team obtained key surveillance footage that linked the incident to a specific purchase at the storefront. This evidence was crucial in proving the vendor’s liability.

This case highlights the importance of businesses ensuring the safety of their customers, especially when it comes to allergens. Thanks to our team’s persistence, our client received compensation for medical expenses and pain and suffering.

At Berger and Green, we remain committed to holding negligent parties accountable and securing justice for those harmed.
