3 Things You Should Do After Getting Food Poisoning

Besides resting and laying low, be sure to do the following in the aftermath of an acute food poisoning incident:
- Seek medical attention: Having a doctor’s official notes and diagnoses handy can be particularly valuable if you end up needing to sue a restaurant, food distributor, or other person or entity for causing your illness.
- Record your damages: As your illness progresses, keep a log of any and all incurred expenses and losses related to your food poisoning. Be sure to note medical costs, total wages lost during recovery, and any other personal or financial damages you may experience.
- Connect with a food poisoning lawyer: You may not necessarily have a viable lawsuit if you get a stomach ache or have to take a day off from work because you ate some bad sushi. However, you may be able to take legal action if your food poisoning episode led to serious health complications, large medical expenses, and other calculable damages.
