Our Illinois Ultra-Processed Food (UPF) lawyers file diabetes lawsuits for young people harmed by “junk food” consumption. Illinois UPF lawsuits claim food manufacturers failed to warn consumers of the risk of disease.
As such, individuals diagnosed with a UPF-related medical condition may be eligible to claim a cash settlement.
Food Producers Failed to Warn of Nutritional Injuries
Our team of Illinois Ultra-Processed Food attorneys have represented thousands of victims of dangerous consumer products. In doing so, we have recovered millions of dollars in settlement funds on their behalf.
However, we only pursue compensation from UPF producers, and do not file claims against our clients’ doctors or caregivers.
No Legal Fee Unless You Obtain a Settlement
While compensation may be available to qualified UPF claimants, victims are urged to act promptly. The #1 claim Illinois ultra-processed food victims can make for diabetes compensation is one filed within the Statute of Limitations. (Follow this link for our latest information on the UPF multi-district litigation.)
Our ultra-processed food lawyers are available to review claims now. We offer a free case evaluation to confirm childhood consumption of UPF and diagnosis of a related health condition. Further, we never charge a legal fee unless a financial recovery is obtained for our client.

Illinois State Diabetes Claims
Illinoisans also have the right to file Ultra-Processed Food lawsuits in the State’s county courts (IL Courts website). IL Compiled Statutes, Chapter 735, sets forth the State’s procedural law for bodily injury claims.
The State of Illinois follows a modified comparative negligence rule with a 51% threshold. Accordingly, an Illinois Ultra-Processed Food lawyer can recover damages for wrongful conduct by food manufacturers provided the diabetes victim is less than 50% at fault. However, the victim’s recovery is reduced by their own degree of fault (if any).
