How it works
Three steps. No surprises.
We exist because outbreak victims don’t need another marketing site — they need to be routed fast to a qualified attorney. That’s the whole product.
A 2-minute intake
Tell us when you ate the lettuce, where, and what happened. The form is mobile-friendly and confidential — your answers only go to the firm we route you to.
mobile-firstno signupencrypted in transitWe match you to a vetted firm
Same business day. The vetted partner firms we work with — established foodborne-illness and mass-tort plaintiff firms and registered class-action counsel — have public track records on foodborne illness and mass tort.

The attorney reads your intake, calls you to confirm the facts, and tells you whether you have a case. You only sign a retainer if the terms make sense to you.

Am I eligible?
Two-minute gut-check.
If the first column sounds like you, it’s worth the 120 seconds it takes to complete the intake. If it doesn’t, the second column explains why — and what to do instead.
You got sick after eating at Taco Bell or one of ~24 other chains served by Taylor Farms de Mexico shredded iceberg lettuce.
Symptoms — typically watery diarrhea, fatigue, loss of appetite, weight loss — began roughly 1–14 days after the meal.
A doctor confirmed or suspected cyclospora, or your symptoms match the CDC outbreak profile.
You lost time at work, had medical bills, or your recovery lasted more than a few days.
You ate the lettuce but never got sick. (Claim needs an actual injury — not just exposure.)
Your symptoms occurred before the May 2026 outbreak window. (We may still point you somewhere useful.)
Why now
Outbreak windows are short.
A produce recall typically drives the “lettuce lawsuit” search volume for a 60-to-120-day window. Here’s what that arc looks like — and where we are right now.
Day 30–60Now
The claim window opens
This is when sick consumers actively search "lettuce lawsuit" and "Taco Bell cyclospora lawyer." Volume is highest. First GC filings begin.
Day 120+Soon
Window stays open, but evidence thins
Receipts get lost, doctor notes get archived. Partner firms still take cases — but earlier evidence means stronger claims.
Start here
Your free claim evaluation.
Five short steps. We capture the restaurant, your state, when symptoms started, what happened, and how to reach you — then pre-fill a same-day handoff email to a vetted plaintiff-side firm in your state.
The final step asks for an explicit consent to be contacted by lettucelawsuit.com and the matched partner firm. We never sell your data and we never share it beyond the routing decision.
Sick after the lettuce? Don’t sit on it.
Filing a claim preserves your evidence while the outbreak window is still fresh. Two minutes now can be the difference between a strong case and a thin one.
