Marler Clark was established in 1998 by the top attorneys for the plaintiffs and defendants in the landmark litigation arising from the 1993 Jack in the Box E. coli outbreak.  The firm has since become one of the nation’s foremost law firms representing victims of food borne illness and other serious personal injuries. 

The Marler Clark attorneys spend the majority of their time working on food-related cases, representing victims of E. coli, Hepatitis A, Campylobacter, Listeria, norovirus, Salmonella, and Shigella outbreaks nationwide.  Marler Clark has litigated against huge corporations including Cargill, Dole, Nestle, Wal-Mart, Wendy’s, McDonald’s, Nebraska Beef, Nestle, and Yum! Brands, winning over 500 million dollars in settlements for their clients.

Under the auspices of Outbreak, Inc, the not-for-profit arm of the company, Marler Clark attorneys travel widely to speak to environmental health groups, industry, universities, and food safety conferences, often on the topics of the intersection of public health and the law and preventing foodborne illness.

Additionally the firm advocates safer food by working with its clients to tell their stories; several have testified before Congress about their serious illnesses from unsafe food.  Marler Clark publishes three of the premier sources of online information on food safety: Food Safety News, Food Poison Journal, and Marlerblog.
