Explore Your Options With Your Hair Relaxer Claim:
Wondering if it’s too late to file a hair relaxer lawsuit? The answer is a resounding no. There’s still ample time for you to pursue legal action if you’ve experienced health issues after using chemical hair relaxers. Whether you’ve been diagnosed with cancer or another qualifying condition, you may be eligible for compensation. Keep in mind that the statute of limitations varies by state, typically requiring lawsuits to be filed within two to three years of the injury. The link between hair relaxers and certain cancers is newly discovered, and the landscape is evolving with more lawsuits anticipated.
Personalized Legal Support During Your Hair Relaxer Case:
If you’re considering legal action due to injuries caused by a hair relaxer product, a crucial step is having a diagnosis of uterine cancer, ovarian cancer, or another provable injury linked to the hair relaxer. Common claims encompass negligence, product liability, and false advertising. Navigating these complexities requires the expertise of a seasoned personal injury lawyer, especially one versed in mass torts. With Herrman & Herrman P.L.L.C., you gain a dedicated legal partner to assess your situation, offering valuable insights into your chances for compensation through damages awarded at trial or settlements.
Class Actions and Beyond For Hair Relaxer Litigation:
While most hair relaxer lawsuits are filed as personal injury claims rather than proposed class actions, many have been consolidated into multidistrict litigation. This framework, akin to class actions but treating claims individually, streamlines the process. Some proposed class actions have also emerged, alleging manufacturers’ failure to warn consumers. At Herrman & Herrman P.L.L.C., we navigate the nuances of these legal strategies to ensure the most effective approach for your unique case.
Hair Relaxer Wrongful Death Claims:
In instances where a hair relaxer product is believed to have led to a person’s death, our experienced personal injury and wrongful death attorneys stand ready to guide the decedent’s family or the person representing the estate. Discussing the law and exploring available options is essential to pursuing justice.
Masterful Management in Multidistrict Litigation:
As the number of hair relaxer lawsuits grows in the United States, they are consolidated into federal multidistrict litigation. Led by U.S. District Judge Mary M. Rowland in Chicago, a plaintiffs’ steering committee, including attorneys from various states, collaborates to manage the MDL and its underlying cases. This process allows for efficient handling of discovery and pre-trial matters without merging individual cases, setting the stage for potential bellwether trials.

Navigating the Legal Landscape Of Your Hair Relaxer Lawsuit
If you suspect that your health has been compromised due to the use of a hair relaxer product, there are critical steps you can take to prepare for potential legal action. In this pivotal moment, securing the guidance of an experienced attorney is paramount. Look for legal expertise not only in civil law but specifically in product liability and personal injury, particularly within the realm of mass torts. Given that most hair relaxer lawsuits are heading to multidistrict litigation, choosing an attorney well-versed in this process ensures a strategic approach tailored to your unique situation.
Thorough Hair Relaxer Case Evaluation:
Selecting the right attorney is just the beginning. Your chosen legal representative will skillfully investigate your circumstances, identifying the nuances of your claims. While standard negligence claims may be part of your case, your attorney will delve into potential product liability issues unique to your situation. With a team comprising young lawyers, paralegals, and experts, your attorney will meticulously examine the specifics of your claims and potential liability issues.
Filing Your Hair Relaxer Claim Strategically:
In some instances, negotiations may precede the filing of a lawsuit. However, the landscape of hair relaxer lawsuits is still unfolding, with no major settlements announced since October 2022. Filing a lawsuit might be the initial step toward securing compensation for hair relaxer-related injuries. Your attorney, well-versed in both local court procedures and multidistrict litigation in the Northern District of Illinois, will guide you in choosing the best avenue for filing your claim.
Pretrial and Discovery Expertise in Hair Relaxer Lawsuits
Should early settlement prove elusive, the discovery process becomes a pivotal phase. Ongoing multidistrict litigation in the Northern District of Illinois is witnessing an influx of new lawsuits, and your attorney will skillfully navigate how your case fits into the broader pretrial and discovery process. Discovery is crucial as it involves the exchange of information between plaintiffs and defendants, setting the stage for a well-informed negotiation or trial.
Hair Relaxer Trial Dynamics:
While your hair relaxer lawsuit is part of a larger cohort, trials remain a critical indicator of potential resolutions. Although it’s unlikely yours will be selected as a bellwether test case, trials are essential for demonstrating the direct link between the hair relaxer product and your injury. The civil standard of proof, a preponderance of evidence, guides these trials, involving extensive testimony from expert witnesses, including medical professionals.
Settlement or Verdict Considerations:
The journey toward resolution can take different paths. A settlement, confidential or not, marks the end of legal actions and requires careful consideration. On the other hand, a trial verdict, while less secure, can be disputed and overturned on appeal. Consulting with your attorney about the implications of each option is crucial before making a decision.
Types of Damages and Potential Awards:
Hair relaxer lawsuits typically involve personal injury claims that may result in both economic and noneconomic damages. Economic damages cover tangible costs such as medical bills, while noneconomic damages compensate for intangible elements like pain and suffering. Despite no settlements as of October 2023, attorneys anticipate multi-million-dollar damage awards, taking into account factors like the specific injury, its severity, impact on careers, medical treatment, pain and suffering, and the duration and variety of hair relaxer product use.
