Dairy Allergy Claims

Do You have a  Dairy Allergy Claim?

Milk is perhaps surprisingly reputed to be the third most common food causing anaphylaxis after peanuts and tree nuts;

Dairy allergy claims can arise when client’s have informed the defendant they have a dairy allergy and therefore have a strict requirement to be provided with dairy free produce.

Unfortunately, it is all too common for the defendant to assure the client that the food or drink will be safe to eat but it then transpires the food or drink actually contains dairy ingredients resulting in an allergic reaction.

Dairy Allergy Symptoms can come on rapidly, often within a matter of minutes and can be life threatening.

Chest tightness and wheeziness;

Swelling to tongue or lips;

Stomach upset;

Rashes to the skin and itching; 

Joint pain;

Headaches and migraines.

Action to take if you have suffered an Allergic Reaction to Dairy?

It’s important that if you wish to bring a Dairy Allergy Claim that you take the right action following the incident to maximise your chances of success. For instance:

• Make sure that the matter is reported as soon as possible and that you have evidence to demonstrate you have advised the defendant of the allergic reaction. (We know that some defendant’s will seek to argue that you didn’t attend their restaurant so this is important.)
• Keep the receipt for the meal so it’s easy to prove where you had the meal.
• Make sure you keep a note of any witnesses details who may be able to confirm what was said at the time of ordering.
• Ideally you should also obtain a copy of the menu that you ordered from so that if there was no warning of the presence of milk this can be relied upon in evidence.

Above all please speak to us first so we can make sure that you take the right steps for your particular circumstances.

There’s no substitute for us having a no obligation chat so we can guide you properly on what to do.
