It’s early in the legal process, so definitive payout amounts are still uncertain. However, based on previous mass tort settlements and the nature of these injuries, our legal team estimates potential individual settlements ranging from $275,000 to over $1 million.
Cases involving multiple brain surgeries, lasting neurological complications, or permanent disability could command even higher payouts. These are serious, life-altering injuries—often requiring long-term care, ongoing neurological treatment, and constant medical surveillance.
Given the strength of the science and the scale of potential harm, we expect this litigation to fall squarely in the high-value category. It’s not a question of if these cases will resolve, but when and how much compensation victims will receive.
