Firm Profile
Marler Clark is the foremost law firm with a practice dedicated to representing victims of food poisoning.
The establishment of Marler Clark in 1998 brought together the top attorneys for the plaintiffs and the defendants in the landmark litigation arising from the 1993 Jack in the Box E. coli O157:H7 outbreak.
Since the firm’s formation, Marler Clark has become one of the nation’s foremost law firms representing victims of foodborne illness and other serious personal injuries.
The Marler Clark attorneys spend the majority of their time working on food-related cases, representing victims of Campylobacter, E. coli O157:H7, Hepatitis A, Listeria, Norovirus, Salmonella, and Shigella outbreaks across the country. Bill Marler, Bruce Clark, and Denis Stearns formed OutBreak, Inc., the nonprofit, consulting arm of the firm, in 1998, and travel several days a month, giving speeches to food-industry groups and environmental health agencies.
While foodborne illness litigation has been the focus of the firm’s practice, Marler Clark’s attorneys have represented injured persons in other cases for injuries resulting from defective products, automobile accidents, and nursing home negligence. The firm has successfully resolved high-profile personal injury cases throughout the United States, achieving some of the largest settlements and verdicts on behalf of our clients.
We understand that it is a difficult decision to hire a lawyer, but individuals who have been injured need someone with experience to level the playing field when they face an uphill battle against a corporation or insurance company with seemingly endless legal resources.
At Marler Clark, when we represent a client in a claim against a large corporation or insurance company, we bring all of our attorneys’ knowledge and experience to the table so that our clients know they are not alone.
At Marler Clark, we emphasize communication with our clients, persistent advocacy, and attention to all aspects of your claim. We dedicate ourselves to looking out for the immediate needs and long-term interests of all our clients, especially injured children and their families. We also strive to make the practice of law a force for positive change in the lives of our clients, their families, and for society as a whole.
