Hepatitis A
Our Pennsylvania Attorneys Can Help Protect Your Legal Rights
Hepatitis A is an infectious disease caused by the hepatitis A virus. It is commonly found in the stool of people with the disease. Hepatitis A can be spread by person-to-person contact, or by contaminated food and drink. In cases of food or drink, the person preparing the food is the one who typically contaminates it.
If you ate at a restaurant and were sickened with hepatitis A, contact Edgar Snyder & Associates for a free legal consultation. The effects of Hepatitis A can be very serious, resulting in medical bills and missed work time.
Symptoms of Hepatitis A
Three out of four people with hepatitis A don't experience symptoms. However, for those who do, symptoms of hepatitis A will usually appear within 28 days after infection, but can begin as early as two weeks for some. These symptoms include:
- Muscle aches
- Headache
- Loss of appetite
- Abdominal discomfort
- Fever
- Weakness and fatigue
- Dark urine
- Jaundice
Symptoms typically subside within two months, although they can last up to six months. Hepatitis A may not be a life-threatening disease, but it can affect your life significantly – you may have a lot of missed work time or need to see a doctor regularly while you're experiencing symptoms.
What Should I Do if I Think I've Been Sickened With Hepatitis A?
If you suspect you have hepatitis A, seek medical attention immediately. When you receive medical treatment, ask your physician to do the appropriate tests to identify the presence of hepatitis A virus in your body. If you believe contaminated food caused your hepatitis A, and you want to get compensation for your illness, you need to have documented medical proof.
