What is an reasonable expectation of payout for tinnitus veterans?
@jeffmarionpersonalinjuryla2966
@jeffmarionpersonalinjuryla2966 2 жыл бұрын
We really won't have an idea until the bellwethers are over. Tinnitus only cases are hard, and it is helpful if the plaintiff can show that tinnitus aggravates another condition, like migraines.

Even if you file as an individual, your case will be transferred to this Multi-District litigation. It is not a calls action. The Multi-District Litigation, is how the Federal Court System Manages so many cases from the same product.

Difficult to say at this juncture, but Judge Rodgers wrote her decision in such a way to cover the issues that the defense would raise on appeal. Most judges try to "appeal-proof" their decisions.

I'm assuming this is going to end up as a tiered system for the settlements. I know that a lot of law firms were estimating anywhere from $50,000 to $300,000 is a maximum possible win on this, but that was at the start of these trials, I'm very curious to see what people think that the different tiered structures might get. I mean do I go buy a hot dog or a Lamborghini? J/k
