Ms. Silver is represented by Marler Clark, the Seattle law firm recognized as the nation’s leading law firm in foodborne illness litigation, Mark Wintering, a leading Cleveland attorney, and Richard Rosenthal, a partner with Pittsburgh-based Edgar Snyder & Associates who is licensed to practice in Ohio.
“Corky and Lenny’s had a responsibility to its customers to serve food that was safe for human consumption,” said William Marler, who is widely recognized as one of the nation’s leading advocates and experts on foodborne illness. “Food contaminated with Salmonella certainly does not fit the definition of ‘safe’.”
Marler speaks frequently on issues regarding food safety and foodborne illness litigation, and presented to a meeting of National Restaurant Association risk and safety managers in January. “When a restaurant sells food that makes customers sick, they should expect to be held legally responsible,” Marler continued. “We have been contacted by several other people who became ill as part of this outbreak, and intend to bring more claims on their behalf.”
