Uncle Bill Is Too Busy

Unfortunately, the food undustry is still too busy trying to keep Bill Marler in business. Don't get me wrong, it's part of my business as well. Bill and I met one day about 8 years ago. I was knee deep in a Salmonella case involving a past divorce client of mine who unfortunately found himself on dialysis after eating at a buffet in a casino in Nevada. I'd never seen anyone so sick and so near death. My client had gone to the casino to place a bet, he just didn't know he'd be betting his life while eating eggs. After some initial research on the net where Marler's name came up about 10 times, I began thumbing through my then issue of National Geographic. Low and behold, there was an article on World food supply and illness. In the article was a photo of Bill Marler and a reference to Jack in the Box. I literally called Bill with the article still in my lap. We teamed up on my case. He and his very astute partner, Bruce Clark, flew down to meet me and my client(Oh, and we went fly fishing too on the Provo River). I learned a great deal by being around Bill and Bruce and still do to this day. The one thing that has stuck me is that Bill doesn't care about the money. If he could, he'd do it for free. What he cares about are his clients and that they are compensated for the injuries inflicted upon them by the careless people and entities that keep poisoning them. Please, put Bill Marler out of business. I hope one day Bill, Bruce and I can go fly fishing without worrying about the multiple cases of food poisoning we are now faced with--like a slow river without a worry in the world.

Some of What I do

When I mentioned I was knee deep in e-coli, this is an article from the Deseret News that explains why:

'Probable source' is iceberg lettuce at N. Ogden eatery
By Lois M. CollinsDeseret Morning News
Wendy's restaurant chain is being sued by a Weber County family after the Weber-Morgan Health Department identified a North Ogden Wendy's as the probable link in four confirmed E. coli infections in June.
Seattle law firm Marler Clark and Salt Lake attorney Todd Gardner filed the lawsuit Friday in Weber County District Court on behalf of William and J. Corey Cohron and their two sons.
According to William Marler, the complaint seeks "compensation for the family's significant medical-related expenses, economic losses, pain and suffering and emotional distress."
On Aug. 7 the Weber Morgan Health Department said that four people had contracted E. coli, three of them developing the more severe hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS). Health officials said the "probable source" was iceberg lettuce served between June 27 and June 30 by the Wendy's restaurant at 2500 N. 400 East in North Ogden. One of the four cases was determined to be a secondary transmission from someone who reported being infected during a conference in which two of the confirmed cases may have gotten the infection. The Wendy's restaurant was a caterer for the conference.The complaint filed by Marler Clark says that Corey Cohron ate a Wendy's salad at the conference and later became ill with symptoms of E. coli infection, including diarrhea. Other family members subsequently developed symptoms as well, most of them not requiring medical treatment. But Wil Cohron, 7, suffered severe infection and was taken to an emergency room July 12. He was in the hospital for two days. He later was rehospitalized and tested positive for E. coli.Three of the four confirmed cases developed HUS, according to Weber-Morgan health officials.No spokesman for Wendy's corporate office returned calls from the Deseret Morning News Friday and Wendy's attorney was not available to comment.E-mail: lois@desnews.com
