Protecting families from contaminated food and water
Salmonella can cause bloody diarrhea. It can leave you dehydrated, force you to cope with severe stomach cramps and pain, and result in headaches and vomiting. In some cases, it can also lead to serious complications like sepsis, an infection of the bone tissue called osteomyelitis, or reactive arthritis.
If you develop Salmonella because of the negligence or wrongdoing of others, you should be entitled to compensation for what you have gone through. The Lange Law Firm can help you to pursue a claim to recover that compensation.

The Lange Law Firm represents clients nationwide who have been made sick due to Salmonella exposure. This includes clients throughout Pennsylvania.
Salmonella exposure can happen anywhere, but cases often cluster in specific areas because a common source of contamination is frequently involved. The Pennsylvania Department of Health provides Salmonella incidence rates per 100,000 residents. Here are the top counties in the state with high incidence rates:
| Rank | County |
Rate (per 100,000)
|
| 1 | Snyder | 31.1 |
| 2 | Juniata | 27.2 |
| 3 | Northumberland | 26.9 |
| 4 | Bradford | 26.2 |
| 5 | Fulton | 25.3 |
| 6 | Jefferson | 21.3 |
| 7 | Montour | 20.4 |
| 8 | Blair | 19.8 |
| 9 | Clarion | 19.7 |
| 10 | Lehigh | 19 |
| 11 | Wayne | 18.8 |
| 12 | Carbon | 18.3 |
| 13 | Armstrong | 18 |
| 14 | Crawford | 17.7 |
| 15 | Franklin | 17.6 |
The Lange Law Firm is here to help you whether you live in these counties or elsewhere. We’ll use proven techniques like food history interviews, traceback investigations, and whole genome sequencing to find the likely source of your illness and to prove who was to blame for making you sick. We can also interface with public health authorities who investigate outbreaks.
The Lange Law Firm will help you to identify defendants who you can pursue a claim against. Some of the potential defendants may include:
The key is to determine when negligence or wrongdoing played a role in making you sick. For example, if a restaurant was careless about cross-contamination or a caterer didn’t cook your food properly, or a manufacturer maintained an unclean environment, they may be held accountable for the harm they caused.
In some cases, strict liability rules can also apply, which would mean you do not have to demonstrate negligence. The Lange Law Firm can help you understand the right legal arguments to make in your case.
Our firm is committed to fighting for you if you’ve been made sick. Reach out today to schedule a free consultation with a Pennsylvania Salmonella lawyer to learn how we can help you.
