Three More Cases of E. coli in Nebraska

By Pritzker | Ruohonen

Three more people have tested positive for E. coli in Nebraska, according to an Associated Press story.  This brings the total number of Nebraska E. coli cases to five.

Health officials are still investigating the outbreak, but according to the AP story:

Vicki Duey of the Four Corners Health Department says she's looking at whether the food served at a public event held earlier this month may have sickened people. She declined to give specific information about the event or where it took place.

During the investigation, it is valuable to have legal representation. To contact our law firm, please call 1-888-377-8900 (toll-free), email attorney Fred Pritzker, managing partner for our E. coli cases, or submit our E. coli case review form.

There is a multi-state E. coli outbreak linked to Nebraska Beef, Ltd. ground beef components.  To date, the states involved are Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, New York, Ohio and Utah.  It is too early in this investigation to know if these Nebraska cases are part of this larger outbreak.

We have filed a lawsuit on behalf of one of the victims of the E. coli outbreak linked to Nebraska Beef, Ltd.  We are also representing other families.  Contact attorney Fred Pritzker for more information.
