At least 10 lawsuits have already been filed as a response to a salmonella outbreak. The outbreak has been traced to two large egg farms in Iowa but attorneys say they know of hundreds of potential cases. However, attorneys say it would be difficult for most to win a lawsuit even if they got sick. 

Seattle attorney Bill Marler is experienced filing lawsuits related to diseased food and has already filed 6 lawsuits in Iowa against large egg farms. However, he says the road is difficult because it is hard to prove the connection between a particular eggs and sickness. 

There are hundreds of cases being filed in response to last summer’s salmonella outbreak, but many of them will not get filed because of the difficult legal work they require. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has linked 1, 600 illnesses to the eggs.
