What Are Some of the Challenges Involved in Defending Foodborne Illness Cases?

Defending a foodborne illness case is very different from defending a typical product liability case, and Sarah Brew of Faegre Baker Daniels has represented food companies in hundreds of such matters. In "What Are Some of the Challenges Involved in Defending Foodborne Illness Cases?" in the July 2012 issue of Medical Law Perspectives, Brew commented on the difficulties of defending such cases, including disproving claims of causation, assessing the damages and rebuffing claims of negligence.
