The lawsuit was filed on behalf of Joe Belgio, 44, who claims he became gravely ill after eating raw oysters at Gibsons Bar & Steakhouse in Oak Brook on June 30, 2025. Attorneys representing Belgio announced the legal action this week, alleging the meal triggered a chain of medical complications that dramatically altered his life, abc7chicago.com reported. According to the complaint, Belgio and his family had gathered at the restaurant for a celebration when he consumed the oysters. The lawsuit alleges medical testing identified multiple pathogens commonly associated with contaminated shellfish. Belgio’s attorneys contend that physicians determined his illness and subsequent injuries were linked to the oysters he consumed at the restaurant.
