Ecoli Lawyers | Marler Clark **Bill and the other E. coli attorneys at Marler Clark have successfully represented thousands of victims of E. coli and other foodborne illness outbreaks, including hundreds who suffered hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), mostly children.** #### E. coli Lawyer Bill Marler Fights on Behalf of Victims E. coli lawyer Bill Marler began fighting for the victims of foodborne illness in 1993, when he represented Brianne Kiner, the most seriously injured survivor of the Jack in the Box E. coli O157:H7 outbreak, in her landmark $15.6 million settlement with the company. The 2011 book, Poisoned: The True Story of the Deadly E. coli Outbreak that Changed the Way Americans Eat, chronicles the Jack in the Box outbreak and Bill’s role in a case that would change history. Since 1993, the E. coli lawyer has fought for victims both in the courtroom and in the halls of Congress, advocating for a safer food supply. #### E. coli Lawyers Get Results The E. coli lawyers at Marler Clark have recovered over $600 million for clients and have brought [E. coli and HUS lawsuits](http://www.marlerclark.com/practice_areas/view/e-coli-o157h7-outbreak-litigation "E. coli and HUS lawsuits")stemming from outbreaks traced to ground beef, raw milk, lettuce, spinach, sprouts, and dozens of other food products. Our attorneys have brought E. coli lawsuits nationwide against such major companies as Jack in the Box, Dole, ConAgra, Cargill, Walmart, Kroger, KFC, Taco Bell, Sizzler, Nestle and Wendy’s. #### E. coli Lawyer with Experience and Integrity E. coli lawyer Bill Marler has been interviewed and profiled by many major newspapers and magazines and is a frequent guest on many television shows. His peers and clients have voted Bill as one of the “Best Lawyers in America,” a “Super Lawyer” and a “Top 100 Trial Lawyer.” He has also been consistently ranked as an “A” with the American Bar Association and a “10” at Avvo. In 2010 Bill was awarded the NSF Food Safety Leadership Award for Education and in 2008 earned both the Outstanding Lawyer Award by the King County Bar Association and the Public Justice Award from the Washington State Trial Lawyers Association. ### Recent outbreaks and recalls August 23, 2023 ###### [Listeria outbreak: Three die after drinking contaminated milkshakes](https://marlerclark.com/news_events/listeria-outbreak-three-die-after-drinking-contaminated-milkshakes) Three people have died, and three others are in hospital after drinking milkshakes contaminated with listeria bacteria in the US state of Washington, health officials … July 12, 2023 ###### [2011 Listeria outbreaks linked to cantaloupes: A history](https://marlerclark.com/news_events/2011-listeria-outbreak-linked-to-cantaloupes-a-history) A total of 148 persons infected with any of the five outbreak-associated strains of Listeria monocytogenes were reported to the CDC from 28 states.
