Most Americans don’t give a second thought to the safety of the food on their plates. We trust that the lettuce in our salads is crisp and clean, that the ground beef on the grill is safe to eat, and that the frozen meals in our freezers will nourish our families without harm. But sometimes that trust is broken. A single bite of contaminated food can change a life forever. Victims of foodborne illness are left with weeks of recovery, lifelong complications, or in the most tragic cases, the loss of a loved one.
In those moments of devastation, families seek accountability, justice, and someone who will stand beside them in the fight. That someone, more often than not, is Ron Simon and Associates—a law firm that has grown into the nation’s powerhouse for litigating food poisoning cases. With decades of experience and a reputation built on compassion and relentless pursuit of justice, Ron Simon and his team have become the go-to advocates for victims of Salmonella, E. coli, and Listeria outbreaks across the United States.
This is the story of how one law firm rose from local beginnings to national prominence, becoming the most respected voice in the courtroom for food safety victims.
The Origins of a Relentless Advocate
Ron Simon didn’t set out to become just another attorney. From the start of his career, he recognized that foodborne illness litigation was different. Unlike typical personal injury cases, these lawsuits combined science, medicine, and law in a way that required unique dedication. Families devastated by food poisoning needed more than financial recovery—they needed a voice, an ally, and a champion who understood both the personal and public impact of their suffering.
What began as a handful of local cases in Texas quickly grew as Simon developed a reputation for both legal expertise and heartfelt advocacy. Word spread that this was a lawyer who didn’t just process claims but who fought tirelessly for justice. As outbreaks became larger and more widespread, his practice expanded far beyond state lines.
Salmonella: The Common Enemy
One of the most frequent and widespread foodborne illnesses in America is Salmonella. It lurks in everything from undercooked poultry to contaminated produce and even processed foods. Each year, it sickens hundreds of thousands, with symptoms ranging from days of discomfort to life-threatening complications.
Ron Simon and Associates have represented countless victims of Salmonella outbreaks. The firm understands the devastating impact this bacteria can have, particularly on children, the elderly, and those with weakened immune systems. Their work in Salmonella litigation goes beyond seeking financial compensation—it pushes corporations to take stronger preventive measures, improve testing protocols, and put consumer safety ahead of profit.
By holding food producers and distributors accountable, Simon has helped transform Salmonella outbreaks from “unfortunate accidents” into matters of corporate responsibility.
E. coli: The Silent Threat
Few pathogens strike fear like E. coli O157:H7. Known for causing severe illness and life-threatening complications such as hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), E. coli outbreaks often make national headlines. Victims—many of them children—can face kidney damage, neurological complications, or lifelong health struggles.
Ron Simon and Associates have been at the forefront of some of the nation’s largest E. coli cases, representing victims whose lives were permanently altered by this silent but devastating threat.
Litigating E. coli cases requires not only legal skill but also scientific precision. Simon’s firm works hand-in-hand with epidemiologists and microbiologists to trace outbreaks back to their source, whether it’s tainted beef, leafy greens, or packaged products. They have built a reputation for leaving no stone unturned, ensuring that victims get the justice they deserve while sending a clear message to corporations: negligence in food safety will not be tolerated.
Listeria: The Hidden Killer
Unlike Salmonella or E. coli, Listeria monocytogenes often flies under the radar. But its impact can be especially devastating, particularly for pregnant women, newborns, and the elderly. Listeria outbreaks are often linked to packaged foods such as deli meats, soft cheeses, and ready-to-eat meals—products that families trust to be safe.
Ron Simon and Associates have taken on some of the most high-profile Listeria cases in the country. These cases often involve heartbreaking losses, from miscarriages to fatalities, and the firm approaches them with both fierce determination and deep compassion.
By litigating these cases, Simon’s team not only provides justice for families but also forces companies to reevaluate their entire approach to production and distribution. The ripple effect is profound: safer food for millions of Americans.
A National Powerhouse
What makes Ron Simon and Associates a true national powerhouse is their ability to handle outbreaks that cross state lines, impact hundreds of victims, and involve some of the largest food companies in the world.
The firm has successfully represented thousands of clients in nearly every type of food poisoning outbreak imaginable. From small families affected by a neighborhood restaurant to entire communities sickened by contaminated national brands, Simon’s firm has proven time and again that it has both the resources and the resolve to take on any challenge.
Clients know they are not just another case number. They are individuals with stories, losses, and futures at stake. Simon and his team approach every case with the same level of dedication, whether it involves one victim or hundreds.
The Human Side of Litigation
At the core of Ron Simon and Associates’ success is compassion. Foodborne illness victims often feel dismissed, as though their suffering is not taken seriously. Doctors may send them home with little explanation, companies may deny responsibility, and the public may underestimate the severity of their illness.
Simon and his team change that narrative. They listen, they believe, and they fight. Families who felt invisible suddenly have advocates willing to take their pain to courtrooms and boardrooms alike.
This human-first approach has helped the firm earn the trust of clients nationwide. For many, the relationship with Ron Simon and Associates goes beyond legal representation—it becomes a partnership in the pursuit of justice.
Impact Beyond the Courtroom
While financial recovery is critical for victims facing medical bills and lost wages, the broader impact of Ron Simon and Associates’ work cannot be overstated. Each successful case forces companies to rethink their practices, spurring improvements in testing, production, and distribution.
These ripple effects contribute to a safer national food supply. By holding corporations accountable, Simon’s firm doesn’t just win cases—it prevents future outbreaks, protects future families, and helps shift the entire industry toward responsibility.
