2023 AEC Session Description
2023 is the 30th anniversary of the Jack-in-the-Box E.coli outbreak that involved 73 different Jack-in-the-Box locations, which sickened over 700 people in four states, leading to 171 hospitalizations and four deaths. As a new attorney, Bill Marler represented and successfully litigated a $15.6 million settlement for the most severely injured victim from this outbreak; it was the largest food safety case at that time. His continued success as a food safety litigator led to founding of the Marler Clark Law Firm, along with classmate Bruce Clark. Marler Clark is the nation’s first and currently most recognized law firm focusing solely on helping victims of foodborne illness.
