The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have reported over 3,000 swine flu cases. The husband of a woman — whose wrongful death was caused by swine flu – is suing the world’s largest producer in a wrongful death products liability lawsuit.
Steven Trunnell of Harlingen, Texas is suing Smithfield Foods Inc., the world’s largest hog producer and pig processor, because the farm operated in Mexico – Granjas Carroll de Mexico – allegedly operates in unacceptable conditions.
Our wrongful death lawyers believe that all companies could potentially be held responsible if their products lead to wrongful death. In this case, with an outbreak spreading all over the world, Smithfield Foods should have been more responsible in making sure its products would not cause personal injury.

Because food is produced at high volume, the likelihood of illness from food products is high. In this instance, product liability on the manufacturer of the product is usually (but not always) the root cause.
Judy Dominguez Trunnel, Steven’s 33-year-old wife, was the first U.S. citizen to die of swine flu, and Trunnel’s attorney filed a petition in Texas State District Court on behalf of his wife who was pregnant at the time.
Trunnel’s wrongful death from swine flu could have been caused by her immune system which was compromised by the pregnancy. Pregnancy sometimes leaves women more vulnerable for complications from the flu.
Our products liability lawyers truly believe that when companies make mistakes that lead to personal injury and wrongful death. When consumers buy products that cause health problems, hiring an experienced products liability attorney will help you make sure you get a settlement that will help pay for your medical bills, emotional trauma and pain and suffering.
