Gerber Baby Food Lawsuits

Current research and testing have shown that Gerber and other major brands of baby food contain dangerously high levels of toxic heavy metals such as lead, arsenic, and mercury. These harmful metals cause health complications and neurologic damage in developing children. The development of conditions such as ADHD and autism may be linked to consuming these toxic baby foods.

The product liability lawyers at Miller & Zois seek cases from children (and their parents) who consumed contaminated Gerber baby foods and were later diagnosed with neurologic health conditions such as autism.

If you have a potential baby food autism case, call us today at 800-553-8082 or reach out to us online.

Truvada Lawsuit

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

Our law firm is taking on new Truvada lawsuits and other HIV drug injury lawsuits involving kidney or bone injuries in all 50 states.

HIV drugs containing tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) are, we believe, putting patients at risk. This has resulted in HIV drug lawsuits from victims alleging kidney disease and failure, bone density loss, bone injuries, and other side effects.

Viread® and Truvada® are two of the first brand-name drugs developed by Gilead Sciences to treat HIV. Viread and Truvada both use tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF), a new type of antiviral drug that was one of the first effective treatments for slowing HIV.

Tylenol Autism Lawsuit

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

Tylenol autism lawsuits are being filed nationwide with a new Tylenol Autism class action lawsuit – technically an MDL, as we explain below – now certified in federal court. But, as we discuss below, that MDL is on the thinnest of ice.

We are encouraging parents interested in bringing a Tylenol lawsuit to consider bringing a toxic baby food lawsuit.

Update: The federal court cases will be dismissed as of December 19, 2023. See the update below that discusses your options moving forward. This is not over.

Vaccine Injury Lawyer

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

The National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) is a special federal program that provides no-fault compensation to individuals that are injured by a vaccine. The VICP is often referred to as Vaccine Court and it offers people who are harmed by a vaccination an alternative compensation system outside of a traditional civil lawsuit.

Vaccine court and the VICP process are completely unfamiliar to most people and even most lawyers. In this post, we will explain the basics of vaccine court and getting compensation under the VICP.

Our lawyers give you recent updates on vaccine lawsuits and then get into the nuts and bolts of these cases.

Ozempic Lawsuit

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

Our lawyers are investigating Ozempic lawsuits for patients with gastroparesis or gastrointestinal conditions, including bowle obstruction, or cyclic vomiting syndrome.

Ozempic is the popular brand name for semaglutide, a prescription drug approved for the treatment of type-2 diabetes. Ozempic is also commonly used as a weight management drug. Recent scientific studies have shown that taking Ozempic, particularly at higher doses, can cause gastroparesis.

Until recently, the warning label for Ozempic did not correctly notify patients or doctors about the risk of these injuriees. Anyone who suffered gastroparesis after taking Ozempic may be able to get financial compensation for their injuries by filing a product liability lawsuit.

PFAS Water Contamination Lawsuit

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

Millions of families in the U.S. may have had drinking water contaminated with PFAS (per- and poly-fluoroalkyl) substances commonly known as “forever chemicals.” PFAS include perfluorooctane sulfonate (“PFOS”) and perfluorooctanoic acid (“PFOA”). These chemicals have been used for various industrial purposes for years, including use in firefighting foam products used to put out chemical fires.

Using PFAS around the country has led to widespread groundwater contamination. Exposure to PFAS in contaminated groundwater has been shown to cause cancer and other health conditions. If you have been diagnosed with cancer after being exposed to water contaminated with PFAS, you may be able to file a lawsuit and get financial compensation.

If you have cancer and believe it was from PFAS exposure, call our PFAS lawyers today at 800-553-8082 or get a no-obligation free consultation online.

When Will My Camp Lejeune Case Settle?

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

When will my Camp Lejeune lawsuit settle? So far, we have 42 Camp Lejeune settlements out of over 170,000 claims.

There is no Camp Lejeune class action lawsuit. But these claims have many of the same features of a class action lawsuit, and lawyers work together as they do in an MDL class action. Famously, class action lawsuits can take up to a decade before settlement payouts are offered.

That will not happen here. Our lawyers explain below why we do not think it will be long before better Camp Lejeune settlement payouts are offered. But we need a better plan than the Elective Option because those offers will not get us far.
