When can I expect to receive compensation after filing a toxic baby food claim?

Each case is different, so receiving compensation for a toxic baby food claim varies per client. To give you an idea, it takes anywhere between a couple of months to a few years to resolve product liability cases and for victims to receive their fair compensation.

As a parent seeking justice for their child, we understand that it’s important for your peace of mind to know when you can expect a resolution and receive compensation. While we sympathize with you, we cannot give an exact number of months or years for your toxic baby food claim.

Keep in mind that several factors can influence how long your case takes. Based on experience, the main elements that affect product liability cases include the following:

  • The volume of claims: A single company dealing with thousands of claims may mean a longer processing time.
  • Involvement of multiple liable parties: If your case involves more than one company, each must be handled and negotiated separately.
  • The severity of your child’s medical condition: Toxic baby food claims require detailed medical evidence backed up by healthcare professionals through documents or testimonies. Obtaining these key documents may take time.
  • Responsiveness of liable companies: The speed at which the companies involved respond to the legal requests and settlement offers affects the claims process and its timeline.

Also, note that cases tied to multidistrict litigation (MDL) may see a different claims processing time. Some settlements for MDLs may begin as early as mid-2025, while other claims may be resolved at a later time. If you’re hoping for a fast resolution, you might be tempted to accept an early settlement offer. However, these are often lower than what you should rightfully receive. It’s best to consult a trusted product liability lawyer to figure out the best option for processing and settling your toxic baby food claim.
