Exposure to dangerous organisms that cause serious injury or death.

Sickness from foodborne pathogens such as Hepatitis A, E. coli and Listeria monocytogenes are growing. Exposure to these organisms can cause serious and disabling illnesses. Food manufacturers and restaurants all too often engage in unsanitary practices that put consumers at risk. Our firm has represented many people effected by such careless practices.

Mr. Cooper represented over twenty individuals who contracted Hepatitis A in the spring of 1997. Through the firm's investigation, it was proven that they had all contracted the disease from eating contaminated food at a Schlotzsky's Deli. The cases made statewide headlines and forced the closure of the subject deli. The evidence the firm uncovered allowed us to negotiate significant confidential settlements for all of our clients.

Mr. Dawson, The Cooper Firm's of counsel member, represented one of the younger children infected with the E. Coli bacteria at White Water Park outside Atlanta Georgia. As an HEW registered Medical Technologist, Mr. Dawson is uniquely suited to handle such cases. Mr. Dawson is an Honor Graduate of the U.S. Air Forces School of Heath Care Sciences. While there Mr. Dawson cultured and identified many types of bacteria from patient samples including, E. coli, Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella and pathogenic streptococcus aureus, and various pathogenic streptococcus species. During college, Mr. Dawson conducted protease enzyme research at the University of South Alabama School of Medicine. While there he performed various state-of-the-art analytical procedures, including gel electrophoresis, gel chromatography, and radioimmunoassays.
