Professional Bio

Bill Marler is an accomplished personal injury lawyer and national expert on foodborne illness litigation. He began representing victims of foodborne illness in 1993, when he represented Brianne Kiner, the most seriously injured survivor of the Jack in the Box E. coli O157:H7 outbreak, resulting in her landmark $15.6 million settlement. That case is the subject of the book Poisoned and the Emmy Award-winning Netflix documentary of the same name. Marler founded Food Safety News in 2009, and teaches food safety at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.
