New Suit Filed Over Alleged Golden Corral Illness

A new lawsuit has been filed on behalf of four people who say they fell ill after they ate at a Golden Corral restaurant in Casper, Wyo., last year.

Attorney Jason Ochs tells the Casper Star-Tribune he filed a personal injury lawsuit against Golden Corral Corp. and franchise owner Golden DBL Inc. this week. Two similar suits were dismissed by a federal judge in April because of what Ochs called jurisdictional issues.

The Wyoming Department of Health has recorded more than 300 cases of the gastrointestinal bug norovirus among people who ate at the restaurant in November and December.

Golden Corral attorney Scott McGath said he hadn’t looked at the lawsuit as of Friday afternoon and couldn’t comment. The Star-Tribune was unable to reach Golden DBL attorney Jeff Meyer.
