Who Can Be Held Liable for Food Allergy Injuries?

Any business that handles or sells food can be held liable when allergy protocols are not followed, including:

• Food Manufacturers and Packagers: Must label products accurately and prevent allergens from contaminating allergen-free products during production.
• Restaurants and Caterers: Must honor allergy disclosures, train staff, and prevent cross-contact.
• Retail Stores: Liable for selling mislabeled or recalled food products.
• Schools and Daycare Centers: Required to have allergy management plans for students with known allergies.

Legal Grounds for Filing a Claim in Wisconsin

Product Liability (Wis. Stat. § 895.047)
Manufacturers and sellers can be held strictly liable for injuries caused by defective or mislabeled food products—even without proof of negligence.

Negligence (Wis. Stat § 895.045)
If a business fails to take reasonable steps to prevent an allergic reaction, it may be found negligent under Wisconsin law.

Breach of Warranty (Wis. Stat. § 402.313)
When a product is labeled as allergen-free but contains allergens, this may violate an express or implied warranty.

Premises Liability (WIS JI-CIVIL 8020)
Restaurants, event venues, and care facilities have a legal duty to provide safe conditions, which includes protecting guests and residents from known allergen risks.

The Milwaukee Food Allergy Lawsuit Process

After hiring a Milwaukee food allergy attorney and discussing the reaction, where it occurred, what food was involved, and your medical treatment, the following steps take place:

Investigation
Your legal team will collect evidence: food labels, receipts, medical records, witness statements, and expert opinions to confirm the presence of allergens.

Filing a Claim and Negotiations

Once you recover or reach maximum medical improvement (MMI), your attorney will send a demand letter to the responsible party detailing your losses and the amount of compensation you are owed.

Filing a Lawsuit
If early negotiations are unsuccessful, your attorney will file a lawsuit in Wisconsin civil court. Discovery, depositions, and settlement talks follow.

Trial
If the case does not settle, it proceeds to trial. A jury or judge will determine fault and award compensation. Successful claims may result in financial recovery for medical costs, lost income, pain and suffering, and future care needs.
