“Restaurant Industry May Face a Spate of Food Allergy Suits”

Lawyer’s USA argues that if restaurants do not own up to letting the consumer know what is in the food, that they could be receiving multiple claims. He/she claims that you cannot ‘claim’ to have an allergic reaction and receive compensation if it is, for example, a mere rash. As clearly stated “Unless someone is rushed to the hospital, there are going to be limits on what you can claim.” Lawyer’s USA develops this claim by first stating that there would be limits on what you can file a law suit for, and then giving a valid example of what claim would be accepted. The company studying food allergies in restaurants investigates multiple claims of allergy attacks. Lawyers USA challenges whether it was the consumer or restaurant at fault in each situation they analyzed. Lastly, the author concludes the article with statements suggesting that many states should look into getting a law put in place to not only protect our people from having an allergy attack, but also our restaurants against law suits. Lawyers USA’s purpose is to discuss the correct way to handle allergy attacks in restaurants. They state that many are severe, but in order to make this law effective there would have to be clear classification on what can and cannot claim against the restaurant.

A lot of facts and statistics went into making this article and it furthered my research impeccably.
