Our Florida Ultra-Processed Food (UPF) lawyers file obesity lawsuits for children and young adults with diabetes or other nutrition-related illnesses. Florida UPF lawsuits claim food manufacturers failed to warn consumers of the risk of disease.
As such, Floridians who ate these foods as a child and have been diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes or related conditions may be eligible to claim a cash settlement.
Florida Ultra-Processed Food Lawyers Advocate for Diabetes Victims
Our team of Florida Ultra-Processed Food attorneys has 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 care givers.
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 Florida 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 foods 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.

Florida Processed Food Lawyers File Diabetes Lawsuits Statewide
11th Circuit Diabetes Claims in Florida
Florida is part of the Eleventh Circuit of the federal court system, and individual ultra-processed food lawsuits can be filed at its local U.S. District Court. Appeals are heard by the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals.
However, federal diabetes lawsuits filed in Florida may be transferred to a centralized jurisdiction pursuant to a Multi-District Litigation (MDL) Transfer Order. (Follow this link for our additional information on 11th Circuit ultra-processed food settlements.)
Florida State Diabetes Claims
Florida ultra-processed food lawyers can also file diabetes lawsuits in the State’s county courts (FL Courts Website). The Florida Rules of Civil Procedure set forth the State’s procedural law for bodily injury claims.
The State of Florida follows a modified comparative negligence rule. Accordingly, a Florida diabetes lawyer can recover damages for wrongful conduct by ultra-processed food manufacturers provided the plaintiff is less than 51% at fault. However, the diabetes victim’s recovery is reduced by their own degree of fault (if any).
