£1.3m food poisoning claim settled

A man who was left disable as a result of salmonella poisoning has been awarded £1.3m in compensation. He contracted salmonella from food consumed from a local takeaway. He became so ill as a result he was left permanently disabled and now requires assistance with everyday tasks. His solicitor negotiated with the Financial Services Compensation Scheme, which handled the case following the liquidation of the original insurance company, and agreed a settlement of £1.3m to help fund the extra care the man will require for the rest of his life.
