    Case filed

What happened

A proposed class action against the United States of America, apparently concerning personal injury claims by more than thirty Jane Doe plaintiffs and two named individuals. The nature of suit is 'P.I.: Other,' and the docket reflects a motion to dismiss for failure to state a claim and lack of jurisdiction, which a magistrate judge has recommended denying. These are allegations in a newly filed case, not proven facts and not yet a settlement.

Do you qualify?

No settlement exists yet, so there is nothing to file and no class definition to check. If the case settles, the settlement will define exactly who qualifies — watch this case and we'll let you know.

How to file

There is no claim to file yet. If this case reaches a settlement, a claim process will open — usually with an official settlement website and a filing deadline.
