Baby Food Autism Lawsuits

If your child was diagnosed with autism after eating toxic baby food, you may be able to recover compensation from the maker. LLN explains.

Matthew A. Dolman's insight:

Multiple Investigations Find Unsafe Levels of Heavy Metals in Baby Food

In the last few years, parents of young children have been confronted with multiple crises related to tainted baby food. The news of heavy metals in baby food led to public outcry in 2021, followed by a critical baby formula shortage in 2022. Like infant formula, baby food is subject to stringent regulations to ensure that it is safe for consumption by children. 

When multiple sources raised concerns about the presence of toxins in baby food, parents understandably directed their concerns at agencies like the FDA as well as the baby food manufacturers. The allegations were first made by the Clean Label Project in 2017 after their testing revealed lead in about a third of the 500 baby food products they used. Further inquiries by the FDA and consumer advocacy groups confirmed the presence of lead and other heavy metals in a significant portion of baby food. This campaign culminated in a Congressional investigation. 

In 2021, the results of that probe were made publicly available. Earlier concerns were justified, as the report confirmed that heavy metals were found in baby food products from various companies, particularly in rice and root vegetable-based products. Investigators found evidence that manufacturers did not abide by federal or internal safety standards, nor did they conduct adequate testing. The release of this report initially prompted panic among parents, which has solidified into a wave of product liability lawsuits.

What Heavy Metals Have Been Found in Baby Food

The term heavy metals broadly describes a class of metals and metalloids with high densities or atomic numbers. It has developed a negative connotation linked to cases of contamination, but many heavy metals are commonplace and fairly innocuous, such as silver and gold. In fact, certain heavy metals like iron and zinc are actually necessary for the human body to function.

The heavy metals that have been detected in baby food are also naturally occurring but toxic when ingested.

Thus far, researchers have identified the following harmful heavy metals in baby foods:

Lead

Arsenic

Cadmium

Mercury

While we typically think of lead poisoning in connection to old paint or decaying pipes, there are other sources of exposure in nature, such as soil. The accumulation of excessive lead in the body can manifest as stomach pain, agitation, and, in extreme cases, damage to the central nervous system or brain. Like lead, arsenic has often become synonymous with poison in modern vernacular, and with good reason. The carcinogen arsenic is more commonly found in groundwater, though it has also been detected in air and soil. 

Airborn cadmium exposure is typically occupation-related, where it has been known to cause severe respiratory issues. When individuals are subject to harmful levels of cadmium in contaminated water or food, they tend to present with joint pain, kidney damage, and cardiovascular problems. Some research also indicates cadmium may be a carcinogen. Testing has also found mercury in baby food, which is highly alarming considering that organic mercury poisoning can result in damage to the brain and spinal cord.

Suboxone Tooth Decay Lawsuit

If you used Suboxone and suffered tooth decay, Lawsuit Legal News explains about your right to bring legal action against the drug maker.

Matthew A. Dolman's insight:

As of November 2023, more than 100 Suboxone lawsuits had been filed against the manufacturer of Suboxone films, Indivior, with 14 new ones added just this month. With hundreds of thousands of people using Suboxone for the treatment of opioid use and dealing with dental issues, we expect that number to rise.

The increase in these lawsuits is likely because more people are discovering the link between Suboxone and tooth decay. The drug is becoming more popular for opioid addiction treatment, and Suboxone users are starting to notice dental problems during their check-ups. Keep in mind we are nearly a decade into the national opioid epidemic.

The growing Suboxone lawsuits allege the drug manufacturer Indivior, Inc. failed to warn users of potential dental hygiene issues before adding a warning label in 2022. As these lawsuits keep piling up, Indivior will likely be held responsible for failing to warn consumers about the dental risks of severe tooth decay and other oral health issues. We believe Reckitt Benckiser Pharmaceuticals, which later became Indivior (the makers of Suboxone), was well aware of the potential risk of tooth decay, gum disease, and loss of teeth.

Can Tylenol Cause Autism? | Tylenol During Pregnancy and Autism

Tylenol use by pregnant women has now been the subject of over 26 epidemiological studies, which all found an association between in-utero acetaminophen exposure and a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder or ADHD.

Matthew A. Dolman's insight:

Finally, the authors state, “We as a society should be able to take protective action when scientific evidence indicates a chemical is of concern, and not wait for unequivocal proof that a chemical is causing harm to our children. Evidence of neurodevelopmental toxicity of any type — epidemiological or toxicological or mechanistic — by itself should constitute a signal sufficient to trigger prioritization and some level of action.” Again, the main concern of researchers is the adverse impact of acetaminophen on fetal brain development. A medical body of evidence consisting of a decade’s worth of studies linking Tylenol to autism and child development was no longer something to be ignored.

Paraquat Lawsuit Lawyers | Sibley Dolman Gipe Accident Injury Lawyers, PA

Speak with an attorney NOW if you or a loved one is experiencing symptoms after being exposed to the pesticide paraquat, commonly found in weed killer.

Matthew A. Dolman's insight:

Across the country, injured consumers have filed paraquat lawsuits against the makers and distributors of paraquat. These lawsuits claim that this dangerous herbicide caused their Parkinson’s Disease and that the makers of paraquat knowingly produced and distributed a known toxin.  Currently, paraquat is banned in more than 30 countries.  These injured consumers and their loved ones are seeking financial compensation for the pain and suffering they experienced due to their exposure to paraquat. A paraquat settlement may help cover the medical expenses, lost wages, and suffering that a diagnosis of Parkinson’s Disease bring

Tampa Car Accident Lawyer | Sibley Dolman Gipe Accident Injury Lawyers, PA

There are many factors that can contribute to a car accident, many of which center on a driver’s behavior. A Florida driver’s license is a privilege and not a right. When a driver, licensed or sometimes without a valid license, chooses risky behavior while behind the wheel, they place innocent lives at risk.

Matthew A. Dolman's insight:

Before Selecting a Tampa Car Accident Lawyer, Please Know The Following...

1.) Sibley Dolman Gipe Accident Injury Lawyers, P.A.'s car accident lawyers, are often called upon by fellow law firms to assist on the biggest cases with the highest potential for a large recovery.  We have handled numerous catastrophic injury claims and lawsuits over the past decade.  Our law firm has the financial resources to take on the biggest corporations.  In fact, we have litigated lawsuits against Walmart, Walt Disney World, Publix, Winn Dixie, McDonalds, Amazon, Uber, State Farm, Allstate, Geico and practically every car insurance carrier one can think of. This firm has the necessary financial resources, experience and expertise to handle any size Tampa auto accident. Contact us today at: 833-552-7274 (833-55-CRASH)

  2.)Sibley Dolman Gipe Accident Injury Lawyers, P.A. (hereinafter referred to as "Sibley Dolman Gipe") will negotiate all of your outstanding medical bills to ensure you are not left holding the bag upon resolution of your car accident case.  Further, we will assist our clients with obtaining the proper medical treatment when requested or necessary to treat for their car accident injuries. Keep in mind Florida is a no-fault state.  In other words, if you have a Florida car insurance policy; there is $10,000.00 of personal injury protection coverage available for you to immediately treat under. 

  3.)  Does the car accident attorney or law firm have a reputation for taking cases to jury verdict when an insurance carrier fails to make a reasonable settlement offer? An auto accident attorney or firm that does not regularly take cases to trial or even litigate their auto accident claims are similar to a dog who lack any bite despite barking loudly. Every car insurance company keeps detailed notes on all car accident lawyers they have dealt with. The settlement offers provided by an insurance carrier are based on the risk they face if the car accident victim refuses to settle based on an unreasonable amount and opts to pursue trial.  Law firms that do not try cases pose zero risk to the insurance carrier. Our car accident lawyers have litigated over 2500 lawsuits to date throughout Florida and have served as lead counsel on numerous jury trials.

  4.) Do NOT select your Tampa auto accident lawyer based solely off a television commercial, radio spot or billboard.  Many of the higher volume law firms your will find advertising ad nauseum are considered little more than settlement mills by auto insurance carriers. Further, high volume law firms have difficulty providing personal attention to their clients.  In fact, a common complaint we receive from clients who retained Sibley Dolman Gipe, after firing a large advertising law firm is they never met with nor spoke with their previous lawyer. Every client of Sibley Dolman Gipe is provided the cellphone of their handling car accident attorney as well as the Managing Partner of Sibley Dolman Gipe. Take a look at the reviews of many of the high volume car accident lawyers in Tampa and you will notice a disturbing trend.  The accident lawyer on the television commercial is often impossible to reach for your common injury victim (see the reviews) and chances are they have never tried a case despite claiming they are the best law firm.

Oil rigs are among the most dangerous places to work, especially for offshore workers.  Oil rig accidents happen more often than you might expect due to harsh weather conditions and seas, combined with working with hazardous substances and machinery.  In an oil rig accident, oil rig workers can sustain severe injuries, even death.  These accidents can result in exorbitant medical bills, health care, and lost wages both temporarily and indefinitely for the victims and their families.

  If you or a loved one have suffered an injury in an offshore fire or an oil rig explosion, you may be entitled to financial compensation.

35 Motorcycle Accident Statistics for 2021 -

Motorcycles are the deadliest form of transportation on U.S. roads. Discover statistics on biking accidents and deaths.

Matthew A. Dolman's insight:

Riding a motorcycle is exhilarating. The freedom that comes with the open road is a lifestyle that lets bikers become one with a machine. Camaraderie, the need for speed, and adrenaline are common reasons riders take the pedal to the metal, and some motorcycle enthusiasts even enter a meditative-like state after a cruise.

Yet this hobby does come with inherent risks. In fact, motorcycles are the most deadly form of transportation in the U.S today. The car comes in second, but motorcyclists are still 27 times more likely to die than passenger car occupants in a crash.

  Why are motorcycles so much more dangerous? Unlike other transport methods, they don’t have safety features like a steel frame or air bag to protect you in the event of a crash. If you do get injured in a motorcycle accident, consider speaking to an attorney to learn about your rights.

Below, our roundup of motorcycle accident statistics walks through the risks and annual fatalities, as well as tips for staying safe on your next ride.

Florida Property Damage Lawyers | Dolman Law Group Accident Injury Lawyers, P.A.

If you are struggling with filing an insurance claim in florida then contact the Florida property damage attorneys at Dolman Law Group now.

Matthew A. Dolman's insight:

Florida Property Damage Lawyers

Dolman Law Group Accident Injury Lawyers P.A., and our sister firm Sibley Dolman Accident Injury Lawyers, LLP., handle property damage claims throughout Florida.  We handle insurance claims stemming from fire, smoke, wind, water, hurricane, storm, and roof damage. Additionally, we handle Florida cast iron pipe claims on homes built before 1975.

Before selecting a Florida property damage lawyer, it is important to consider the following:

  Not all law firms are the same– Not law lawyers or law firms actively litigate their claims against insurance carriers.  We have successfully litigated insurance claims against giants such as State Farm, Allstate, Geico, USAA, Progressive and many others. Insurance carriers are aware of our reputation for aggressively litigating our claims.  In fact many Florida insurance lawyers refer us their biggest and most complicated claims to handle.

We have the financial resources and experience to take on any insurance carrier. In fact, our law firms maintain a large line of credit.  Our goal is to properly resource each and every claim handled. Whenever necessary, we will retain the best experts to properly illustrate the extent of damages our client sustained in their property damage loss.

Do not pick a lawyer solely off a television commercial, billboard or radio spot. It is essential that your attorney or law firm offers personal attention.  The majority of our business has been built off referrals from very satisfied former clients.  The biggest issue with large advertisers, is their focus on handling a heavy volume of claims. It is difficult to provide personal attention when handling volume.  In fact, a common complaint we receive from a new client that has terminated their relationship with a law firm that heavily advertises; is they never spoke with nor met their former lawyer.

Many law firms do not actively litigate their claims.  Insurance carriers are inherently unfair. These are for-profit corporations with one goal; to return large dividends to their shareholders by limiting payout of claims. If a law firm is rarely litigating, they are essentially stating through their behavior that insurance carriers are usually fair.  We know that is not truth.

Matthew A. Dolman's insight:

AFFF Lawsuits: Everything You Need to Know

For decades, firefighters, including both military and civilian units, used AFFF, or Aqueous Film-Forming Foam, to suppress fires. AFFF saw use in both actual fires and training exercises across multiple organizations. Unfortunately, many of the chemicals used in AFFF can build up in the body over time. Those chemicals can substantially increase your risk of developing several serious, life-threatening illnesses, including cancer.

  At Sibley Dolman and Dolman Law Group Accident Injury Lawyers, we want to help victims who have faced serious illness due to AFFF exposure receive the compensation they deserve. Contact us today at 833-552-7274 to learn more about your legal rights following a cancer diagnosis related to AFFF exposure.

What Is AFFF?

AFFF, or Aqueous Film-Forming Foam, helps form a protective blanket that smothers fires water alone cannot put out. It includes chemicals perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances, or PFAS, which help put out the fire. In some cases, these chemicals still appear in firefighting foams, despite the known cancer risks.

When developed, AFF helped suppress fires faster than other available methods. Many installations still use it for that purpose. Unfortunately, the risks may outweigh potential gains, especially if the chemicals leech into groundwater or run off into nearby land, where they can seep into groundwater, causing serious hazards for local area residents.

The Department of Defense notes:

DOD uses this firefighting foam because on ships and on aircraft, the close proximity of people, fuel and munitions can be especially dangerous. AFFF works by quickly by spreading out over the surface of the fuel, depriving the fire of oxygen, quickly extinguishing even large fires. The foam also prevents the hot fuel from reigniting. So far, only AFFF that contains fluorine chemicals called per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, or PFAS, are capable of putting out dangerous fuel fires fast and keeping them out.

Unfortunately, the same attributes that make PFAS desirable in small spaces or dangerous circumstances also make them incredibly dangerous for humans. These fire suppression chemicals heighten the risk of cancer in people who face exposure to them, especially people who face considerable exposure over a long time.

Matthew A. Dolman's insight:

Major Firefighting Foam Cancer Lawsuits

The manufacturers of firefighting foams have become the focus of litigation from all sides due to the dangerous properties that their product exhibits. Firefighting foam cancer lawsuits allege that major manufacturers deliberately withheld knowledge of the product’s dangers for decades, so they could increase their profits. 

  Firefighting foam, or aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF) as it is more formally known, has been linked to the increased risk of developing cancers among those exposed to it. This exposure can either occur at work through direct contact with the foam or in the community by ingesting water from foam contaminated water supplies. Firefighting foams are made and sold by some of the most powerful chemical companies in the world such as Dupont, 3M, Chemguard, and Chemours to name a few. 

  Those that have suffered because of their exposure to firefighting foam and the harmful chemicals they contain can hold those responsible for their damages accountable for their actions. AFFF has directly and indirectly affected a large number of people ranging from firefighters directly exposed to AFFF to civilians that did nothing more than drink water from trusted water sources that became contaminated. 

  Firefighting foam cancer lawsuits against these companies are nothing new. If you or someone you love believes that exposure to firefighting foam caused your cancer or medical illness, you have a right to hold negligent manufacturers accountable too. To do so, it is important to understand the lawsuits already filed, as past cases will have a significant impact on how future litigation against fire fighting foam manufacturers will proceed.

Weight Loss Prescription Belviq and Possible Cancer Risk -

Matthew A. Dolman's insight:

Recently, the FDA made the public aware that a weight-loss drug known as Belviq was reported to have a link to multiple different cancers ranging from lung cancer to pancreatic cancer. While the FDA has made it clear that there is an increased risk of developing cancer with long term use of the drug, they are currently not suggesting a special cancer screening for those who have taken it.

  The FDA still might be unaware of just how detrimental this weight-loss drug can be; this does not mean those who have been taking Belviq should be taking this news lightly. The experienced defective drug attorneys at Dolman Law Group can help you take the proper and necessary steps to obtain the compensation you deserve for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other expenses that cancer from Belviq has caused.

Matthew A. Dolman's insight:

Filing a Lawsuit Over Defective Hip Replacements

Arthritis and other problems with your hips might require you to have hip replacement surgery. During the surgery, doctors replace your hip with a new joint made from plastic and metal. In most cases, doctors will try other treatment options first. In some cases, the hip replacement itself is defective, and in others, the surgical technique could cause a defect. If you believe you have a defective hip replacement, contact a hip replacement attorney for a consultation.

  Reasons a Hip Replacement Is Defective

A hip replacement might be defective for many reasons, including:

The quality of the materials used to make the implant;

A design flaw, which you might find in a specific brand;

Bad joint biomechanics;

Migration issues;

Septic loosening due to pathogens in the implant;

Poor surgical technique;

Missing hip replacement components;

Poor preoperative planning;

Fractured or otherwise defective replacement components;

Wrong choice of prosthesis (the hip replacement); and

An inappropriate rehabilitation program for the patient.

The Clearwater & St. Petersburg personal injury lawyers at Dolman Law Group understand that insurance carriers are well aware of a law firm's reputation when evaluating a personal injury claim.

Matthew A. Dolman's insight:

A personal injury settlement mill is a high volume law practice that attempts to mass produce the settlement of injury claims while utilizing aggressive advertising campaigns in an effort to obtain clients. Settlement mills litigate a disproportionate amount of their cases and take very few cases to trial. Such firms can be routinely found advertising on television during both daytime and late night. There are exceptions to the rule and not every firm that aggressively advertises is a mill. However, a majority of such firms are mills characterized by minimal interaction between the attorneys and their clients. When hiring a personal injury lawyer, be sure that they are not a mass advertising firm that claims to be the biggest law firm or has more attorneys than their competitors. This is usually a recipe for disaster.

How Long Does a Motorcycle Accident Lawsuit Take? | Dolman Law Group Accident Injury Lawyers, P.A.

Matthew A. Dolman's insight:

Many people have questions after they get into a motorcycle accident. Lots of those questions have to do with the legal process. Clients frequently ask our legal team about lawsuit timelines. Accident victims want to know: How long does a motorcycle accident lawsuit take? What factors impact the length of a motorcycle lawsuit? Do you have to bring a motorcycle lawsuit to receive compensation after a motorcycle accident?

We’ve decided to compile answers to the most frequently asked questions we get here. If you’ve been in a motorcycle accident, this post covers some of the most important things you should know about a potential lawsuit.

  People on motorcycles are at greater risk than people in cars. When someone is riding a motorcycle, they’re at more risk on the road than someone riding in a car. This is true for several reasons. Motorcycles are small and not highly visible in general; if conditions make visibility even worse, motorcyclists face even more danger.

Motorcyclists also don’t have the same protections afforded to them as car passengers do. No walls surround you when you’re on a motorcycle. No seatbelts or airbags protect you, either.
