If a restaurant doesn’t maintain adequate cleanliness or handle food items properly, it may put its patrons at risk of developing dangerous food-borne illnesses. These health concerns, in severe cases, can require emergency medical care and hospitalization. However, individuals forced to endure this difficult situation may be eligible to pursue financial compensation for their medical care and other injury-related expenses.
