Maine baby food lawsuits claim nutrition companies failed to protect kids from metals linked to autism and ADHD. Contaminated puree has been blamed for many developmental injuries. (See our ME Baby Food News)
As such, our Maine baby food lawyers are filing autism and ADHD lawsuits for metal poisoning victims.

Maine Baby Food Lawsuits in State or Federal Court
ME baby food lawsuits can be filed in state or federal court. Selecting a jurisdiction is generally based on: 1) whether all parties inhabit Maine, and 2) the severity of Autism spectrum placement.
Maine State Baby Food Claims
When all parties reside in Maine, baby food lawsuits of any magnitude can be filed in the State’s county courts (ME Courts Website). The Maine Rules of Civil Procedure sets forth the State’s procedural law for developmental delay claims.
The State of Maine follows a modified comparative negligence rule. Accordingly, a Maine baby food lawyer can recover damages for wrongful conduct by Gerber, Beach-Nut, and others provided the plaintiff is less than 50% at fault. However, the Autism victim’s financial award may be reduced by their own degree of fault (if any).
1st Circuit Baby Food Claims in Maine
Maine is part of the First Circuit of the federal court system, and individual baby food lawsuits can be filed at its local U.S. District Court. Autism spectrum appeals are heard by the 1st Circuit Court of Appeals.
Provided the Autism or ADHD diagnosis is severe, baby food claims can be filed in this court against defendants nationwide.
However, federal baby food lawsuits filed in Maine may be transferred to a centralized jurisdiction pursuant to a heavy metals Multi-District Litigation (MDL) Transfer Order. (Follow this link for our additional information on 1st Circuit baby food compensation.)
