See whether a diagnosis may fit the cases now being filed.
A short, attorney-built walkthrough. Five quick questions about the diagnosis, age, and consumption history. We will tell you whether the situation looks like the narrow profile firms are currently reviewing, or honestly tell you when it does not.
Lawsuit Center is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice. This is an emerging area of litigation, the first test case was dismissed on pleading grounds, and the science is contested. Using this checker does not guarantee eligibility, compensation, contact, or representation.
Why this asks about diagnosis, not diet.
Almost everyone eats ultra-processed food, so consumption alone does not tell you anything about a claim. What the filed cases actually turn on is a serious metabolic diagnosis that began unusually early, paired with heavy, documentable consumption. This checker is built around that, so it screens on the diagnosis first and is honest when nothing fits.
- The diagnosis, since the filed cases center on Type 2 diabetes and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease
- Age at diagnosis, because early onset is what separates these claims from ordinary cases
- Childhood and adolescent consumption history
- A few exclusions that point to a different cause
- State, because deadlines and rules vary
Walk through five questions.
Pick the closest fit at each step. Answers stay on your device. Nothing is submitted unless you choose to request a case review at the end.
What happens next.
If the checker points to a possible fit, you can request a free case review. Your information may be reviewed to understand whether it relates to the ultra-processed food cases currently being filed, and a participating law firm, legal advertiser, or intake provider may contact you to ask for more information.
If the checker does not find a fit, it will say so and point you to background reading instead of an intake form. No attorney-client relationship is formed unless and until you sign an agreement directly with a law firm.
Read this before relying on results.
Lawsuit Center is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice. Using this checker does not create an attorney-client relationship and does not guarantee that you qualify for a claim, that compensation will be available, or that any attorney or law firm will offer representation.
Whether ultra-processed foods caused any individual's condition is scientifically contested and has not been established, and the companies dispute the allegations. Results reflect general patterns in a developing area of litigation, not a legal opinion about your situation.
Legal deadlines for product liability and consumer claims can vary by state and can be short. If you believe you may have a claim, consider speaking with a licensed attorney as soon as possible.
