Aurora Tylenol Lawsuit Attorney

Recent ongoing investigations confirm a correlation between the administration of Tylenol during pregnancy and a heightened likelihood of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in children. Legal professionals nationwide are taking action against the makers of Tylenol and other medications containing acetaminophen for not disclosing this crucial information on their labels. For more details, get in touch with our team of Aurora attorneys specializing in Tylenol-related lawsuits.

Lawsuits Regarding Tylenol and Autism in Aurora

Boesen Law, a legal firm serving Aurora, is representing individuals in the city who have been negatively impacted by Tylenol's failure to communicate the risks associated with consuming acetaminophen while pregnant. If you have taken Tylenol, paracetamol, or acetaminophen during your pregnancy and your child was diagnosed with ADHD and/or autism, contact our office as soon as you can.

We will meticulously assess your circumstances to ascertain your eligibility to participate in the mass tort against Tylenol in Aurora. Key factors include the timing, quantity, and frequency of your Tylenol usage.

Additionally, if your child was prescribed Tylenol within the initial 18 weeks of life and subsequently developed ADHD and/or ASD, you might also be eligible for compensation.

Understanding Mass Torts

In mass tort proceedings, cases are examined separately, and settlements are awarded accordingly. In contrast, class action lawsuits involve a single plaintiff representing a larger group of similarly affected individuals. Settlements in mass torts are generally higher than those in class actions, and they can also vary quite a bit.

Potential Compensation in the Aurora Tylenol Lawsuit

The mass tort against manufacturers of acetaminophen-containing drugs is in its early stages. With evidence continuing to mount, however, we expect this to be one of the largest payouts in mass tort history.

We anticipate substantial settlements to cover, at a minimum, the economic damages suffered by families with children who developed autism or ADHD due to prenatal Tylenol consumption. The financial burden associated with caring for children with neurodevelopmental disorders is substantial. Estimates suggest that families might spend around $60,000 annually on a child with autism. Moreover, children with ADHD result in economic costs five times higher than those without the condition.

The emotional toll of raising a child with special needs presents further financial burdens: couples with children with autism are ten percent more likely to get a divorce. Forbes estimates the average cost of a divorce in 2023 to be between $15,000 and $20,000.

These are just a couple examples of damages that deserve compensation. Other economic damages in the Tylenol mass tort might include:

• Medical expenses
• Lost income
• Psychiatric costs
• Medication expenditures
• Specialized equipment
• Legal fees
• Transportation charges
• Special education costs
• Extended childcare expenses
• Divorce proceeding costs
• And more, based on individual cases

Non-economic damages may also be pursued in the Aurora Tylenol lawsuit. These could include:

• Pain and suffering
• Diminished quality of life
• Emotional distress
• And more, depending on individual cases
