Hundreds of thousands of military veterans have been diagnosed with profound hearing loss as a result of being exposed to loud noise during their time in uniform.

The armed forces were supposed to provide military service members with protection to keep this from happening, especially when service members were deployed overseas. However, some of these protection devices were defective, and retired service members not suffer from hearing problems.

Attorneys are filing hearing loss lawsuits against 3M, now the owner of the company that made the combat earplugs.

Developing Parkinson’s disease is not something that often happens on its own. Of course, there are genetic factors that could play a part in this neurological disorder. However, it is a combination of genetic and environmental factors that could lead to this disease.

In some cases, we have seen recent lawsuits that allege that exposure to certain chemicals has caused Parkinson’s disease. Here, we will focus on how people could develop Parkinson’s. That could give you an idea of whether you may have a possible lawsuit.

Reasons Why Parkinson’s Disease Occurs

What is the Roundup Lawsuit Payout?

The lawsuits filed on behalf of the tens of thousands of people who were exposed to Roundup have turned into one of the largest mass tort litigation cases of all time.

In the wake of the multi-billion dollar Roundup settlement, people have been asking our law firm for legal advice about whether they have a valid claim. They are also asking us about the average settlement in the case.

Product liability lawsuits are some of the most newsworthy court cases. Many people have heard of large-scale settlements that can reach into the billions of dollars. For example, the makers of the weed killer Roundup recently agreed to pay $10 billion to settle over 10,000 product liability cases.

Another example is the hundreds of millions of dollars that automakers paid out for the defective Taketa airbags that they put in cars.

However, there is a lot that must happen from the time that the claim is filed by the injured person through the time that the defendant pays to settle a lawsuit that claims that their product harmed someone. In Illinois, the product liability law is found in 735 ILCS 5/. Part 21 specifically focuses on product liability law.

For decades, baby powder was viewed as Johnson & Johnson’s flagship product. The company started selling baby powder with talc in it all the way back in 1894, only eight years after the company was founded.

Juries have found the pharmaceutical giant’s product responsible for cases of cancer and have ordered the company to pay billions of dollars in damages.
