POISONED PET FOOD
We have received several inquiries about the possibility of bringing a legal action against the manufacturers of the tainted pet food that was recently distributed throughout the United States. Generally speaking, most states do not permit an award of damages for the loss of your pet's companionship. This means that any legal action would be limited to recovering for your veterinary expenses and the value of your pet if the animal died. In these states, the cost of bringing a lawsuit would likely exceed any potential monetary recovery. Therefore, we are not recommending that individual pet owners get involved with legal actions. If, however, a law firm begins a class action on behalf of the thousands of individuals affected by the tainted food, you may wish to consider joining that class action. Class actions allow a law firm to bring a case on behalf of many individuals who have a relatively small claim. If you have such a claim, you should check on the internet to see if any law firms are getting involved with these class actions.
