Poisoning often happens without warning, one moment everything feels normal, and the next you’re facing alarming symptoms, emergency treatment, or even hospitalisation.
Whether caused by contaminated food, mislabelled products, or exposure to harmful chemicals, the effects can be both frightening and long-lasting.
The impact isn’t just physical. Many people are left dealing with anxiety, lost income, disrupted routines, or ongoing medical problems. When the poisoning was caused by someone else’s negligence, these consequences can feel all the more distressing since it was entirely avoidable. Whether you have contracted food poisoning due to ill-prepared food at a restaurant, suffered an allergic reaction due to a mislabelled product, or any other type of poisoning due to someone else’s negligence, the effects of poisoning can have a detrimental and potentially long-term effect for you and your family.

There are a number of different types of poisoning that could occur, due to somebody else’s negligence, and could lead to a compensation claim, including:
This list is not exhaustive, and if you have been poisoned after ingesting, inhaling, or absorbing a substance due to somebody else’s negligence, you may have a valid case for claiming compensation. Our team of personal injury solicitors are on hand to answer any questions you may have, so please don’t wait to get in touch with us.
In order to make a claim for poisoning, we need to be able to prove on the balance of probabilities that the organisation or person responsible for your poisoning owed you a duty of care, that they breached that duty, and that the breach led to your harm.
When it comes to obtaining the necessary proof, it generally depends on what type of poisoning has occurred. For example, if you have suffered from food poisoning which you suspect was caused by a restaurant, takeaway, or other food retailer, it’s advisable to act as quickly as possible in seeing your GP so that they can take a stool sample to confirm if it is food poisoning.
It is always advisable to keep a copy of any medical notes, as well as photographs of the incident, receipts for any purchases involved, and as much evidence as you can gather in order to support your case. Our personal injury solicitors are experienced in handling cases for poisoning injuries so we are well-versed in the type of supporting evidence necessary for your claim, so please get in touch with any queries and we will be more than happy to help.
When it comes to making a personal injury compensation claim after a poisoning injury, it can be a daunting process, and you may have a lot of questions or concerns. Here are some frequently asked questions that may help:

Phillip Roberts handled my claim in a professional and knowledgable way and I would like to thank him very much for all the work he has done for me.
After my experience using LB 15 years ago and being very impressed I had no hesitation in using them again on a totally different matter and I was not disappointed. Excellent service once again with a successful secondary victim claim.
First Class experience from start to finish with this company.
One hundred percent happy with my claim and the outcome my solicitor was brilliant all through my case.
First Class Service
I was injured in a terrible accident whilst working on a farm, I was left with extensive injuries to my arm which impacted all aspects of my life including my ability to go back to work. Once I had instructed Lanyon Bowdler they instructed medical experts who were able to recommend rehabilitation for me which was arranged, and this meant that I could go back to work and start living independently again. They secured compensation of £45,000 and gave me all the advice and support I needed to accept the offer made.
After a horrible road traffic accident I was left with minimal physical injuries but a significant psychological injury which affected all aspects of my life including my ability to go back to work. Lanyon Bowdler handled my claim whilst also securing crucial rehabilitation for me. They secured £85,000 in compensation for me just after a year after my accident.
After a serious motorbike accident in which my Dad sustained significant head and life changing injuries I instructed Lanyon Bowdler to assist me with making a claim on his behalf. As part of his claim they ensured that he received an appropriate care package to support him in living independently and access to appropriate rehabilitation. They secured for him a settlement of £3.1m together with PPOs for his care and case management for the rest of his life which means that all of his needs can be met.

As a case manager I work closely with litigation teams to ensure our clients get the expertise, support and care they need to bring them back to as close to their life pre-injury as possible. This is very often not an easy journey, and balancing the desires of the client to live their best life with collating and presenting the facts of how that life is altered, can be very challenging. Having worked alongside Lanyon Bowdler’s team for many years, I have noted it is always easier to strike this balance, when they are involved.
Having worked with a succession of personal injury specialists at Lanyon Bowdler over the years, I have seen at first hand the top-flight legal expertise that they bring to every case and the commitment to obtaining the absolutely best result for every client.

Contacted Lanyon Bowdler six months after an injury at work. They offered me several of their services, including no win no fee which I ended up choosing. The solicitor was extremely helpful, was always keeping me updated when there was news and answered promptly when asked for any updates or when I asked any questions. I was very happy with the final settlement and the advice I received proved to be the best for my case. I felt like the extra bit of care was extended to give me a good idea of the options I had to choose from which really helped to inform any decision.
From my initial approach to the final positive outcome I felt my solicitor was expending all his energy to win the case. I was kept informed throughout and was given straightforward advice on how to proceed. The end result was an acceptable outcome and the pay-out was prompt.
Very friendly and quick to respond, highly recommend for anyone looking for legal advice.

In general, the time limit for bringing a poisoning claim is three years from the date of the injury or the ‘date of knowledge’ of the injury (to cover situations where the impacts of an injury surface at a future time).
However, if a child sustains an injury, due to an accident caused by the actions or negligence of another party, the time limit will usually expire on their 21st birthday unless the child never gains mental capacity due to their injuries, in which case the time limits do not apply.
