Spouse of E coli outbreak victim sues following wife’s death

The husband of an Arizona woman who died after consuming a Wagyu beef burger contaminated with E. coli at a Flathead Valley restaurant is joining others who are taking legal action following the July outbreak.  

A complaint was filed last week by Allen Ball, both individually and as a representative of his late wife Leayne Lynn Ball, in U.S. District Court of Montana in Missoula.  

Marler Clark Law Firm and the Bliven Law Firm are representing Ball in the case against The Docks Bayside LLC, Harbor Grille, Lower Valley Processing and RANGE Land and Cattle Co., among other entities allegedly connected to the July outbreak that originated in Flathead County.
