Our Illinois Ultra-Processed Food (UPF) lawyers file obesity lawsuits for children and young adults with diabetes or other nutrition-related illness. Illinois UPF lawsuits claim food manufacturers failed to warn consumers of the risk of disease.
As such, Illinoisans diagnosed with a UPF-related medical condition may be eligible to claim a cash settlement.
Illinois Ultra-Processed Food Lawyers Advocate for Diabetes Victims
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 Processed Food Lawyers File Diabetes Lawsuits Statewide
7th Circuit Diabetes Claims in Illinois
Illinois is part of the Seventh 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 Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals.
However, federal diabetes lawsuits filed in Illinois may be transferred to a centralized jurisdiction pursuant to a Multi-District Litigation (MDL) Transfer Order. (Follow this link for our additional information on 7th Circuit ultra-processed food settlements.)
Illinois State Diabetes Claims
Illinois ultra-processed food lawyers can also file diabetes lawsuits in the State’s county courts (IL Courts website). Chapter 735 of the Illinois Compiled Statutes sets forth the State’s procedural law for bodily injury claims.
The State of Illinois follows a modified comparative negligence rule. Accordingly, an Illinois diabetes lawyer can recover damages for wrongful conduct by ultra-processed food manufacturers provided the plaintiff is less than 50% at fault. However, the diabetes victim’s recovery is reduced by their own degree of fault (if any).
Follow this link for a warning about faulty activity associated with ultra-processed food introduced in the Illinois General Assembly.
