Rhode Island Tylenol lawsuits claim acetaminophen manufacturers failed to protect families from Autism and ADHD. Use of the painkiller during pregnancy has been blamed for childhood developmental delay. (See our RI Baby Food Autism News)
As such, our Rhode Island Tylenol lawyers are filing Autism lawsuits for children and impacted families.

However, we only pursue Tylenol compensation from painkiller manufacturers, not from our clients’ doctors or caregivers.
No Legal Fee Unless You Obtain a Settlement
While compensation may be available to qualified Tylenol claimants, victims are urged to act promptly. The #1 claim Rhode Island Tylenol victims can make for Autism compensation is one filed within the Statute of Limitations.

Rhode Island Tylenol Autism Lawsuits in State or Federal Court
RI Tylenol Autism lawsuits can be filed in state or federal court. Selecting a jurisdiction is generally based on: 1) whether all parties inhabit Rhode Island, and 2) the severity of neurological harm.
Rhode Island State Tylenol Autism Claims
When all parties reside in Rhode Island, Tylenol Autism lawsuits of any magnitude can be filed in the State’s county courts (RI Courts Website). The Superior Court Rules of Civil Procedure sets forth Rhode Island’s procedural law for pregnancy claims.
The State of Rhode Island follows a pure comparative negligence rule. Accordingly, a Rhode Island Tylenol lawyer can recover damages for wrongful conduct by Johnson & Johnson regardless of what portion of fault may be assigned to the plaintiff. However, the impacted family’s financial award may be reduced by their own degree of fault (if any).
1st Circuit Tylenol Autism Claims in Rhode Island
Rhode Island is part of the First Circuit of the federal court system, and individual Tylenol lawsuits can be filed at its local U.S. District Court. Child development appeals are heard by the 1st Circuit Court of Appeals.
Provided the neurological impairment is severe, Tylenol claims can be filed in this court against defendants nationwide.
However, federal Tylenol lawsuits filed in Rhode Island may be transferred to a centralized jurisdiction pursuant to an Autism Multi-District Litigation (MDL) Transfer Order. (Follow this link for our additional information on 1st Circuit Tylenol Autism compensation.)
