Marler Clark Files Salmonella Lawsuit Against Paramount Farms on
Behalf of Clients Sickened after Eating Contaminated Almonds

http://www.marlerclark.com/news/almonds12.htm and on PRWEB.COM

Marler Clark, the Seattle foodborne illness law firm, filed a lawsuit
Wednesday on behalf of seven people who became ill with Salmonella
Enteriditis infections after eating Paramount Farms raw almonds
between September, 2003 and May, 2004. The lawsuit was filed in the
South Judicial District of the Los Angeles County Superior Court.

(PRWEB) March 23, 2005 -- Marler Clark, the Seattle foodborne illness
law firm, and Martinez & Potter, a respected Los Angeles law firm,
filed a lawsuit Wednesday on behalf of seven people who became ill
with Salmonella Enteriditis infections after eating Paramount Farms
raw almonds between September, 2003 and May, 2004. The lawsuit was
filed in the South Judicial District of the Los Angeles County
Superior Court (Case No. NC036770).

All seven plaintiffs had Salmonella infections linked to almonds
manufactured and sold by Paramount Farms. Paramount Farms recalled
roughly eighteen million pounds of almonds in May, 2004 after the CDC
traced the Salmonella illnesses of 29 people in twelve states and
Canada to consumption of Paramount's raw almonds between September,
2003 and May, 2004.

"We have been working to settle our clients' Salmonella claims against
Paramount Farms for almost a year now," said William Marler, managing
partner of Marler Clark. "Unfortunately, Paramount has not made
reasonable offers to our clients to settle their claims"

The plaintiffs are residents of California, Washington, and Arizona.
Marler Clark previously filed Salmonella lawsuits against Paramount
Farms on behalf of a Kennewick, Washington family and a Renton,
Washington, man who suffered from reactive arthritis, a complication
of Salmonella infection.

"At this point, we feel that the only chance of obtaining just
compensation for our clients is letting a jury decide the value of
these claims," Marler concluded.

Background: Marler Clark (www.marlerclark.com) is known as the
premiere foodborne illness law firm in the United States. The firm
recently settled the claims of fifty people who became ill with
Salmonella poisoning after eating at a Chili's restaurant outside
Chicago. The Marler Clark attorneys have litigated on behalf of over
1,000 victims of Salmonella outbreaks in the last ten years, and have
obtained record verdicts and settlements on behalf of thousands of
people infected with Salmonella, E. coli O157:H7, Hepatitis A,
Listeria, Shigella, Norwalk Virus, and Campylobacter. Recoveries to
date are in excess of $175 million.
