What Is the Eligibility Quiz Tool?
The eligibility quiz tool above helps you find out if you may qualify for money from an active lawsuit in the United States. Every year, millions of Americans are harmed by defective products, dangerous medications, contaminated water, and corporate negligence. Many of those people are eligible for financial compensation through mass tort lawsuits and have no idea these cases exist.
This free eligibility quiz tool checks your situation against 25 of the largest active lawsuits in the country — covering everything from baby powder and weedkillers to weight loss medications and contaminated drinking water. In about 60 seconds, you will know whether any of these lawsuits might apply to your situation. No email address is required, no personal data is stored, and your answers never leave your browser.
How the Eligibility Quiz Tool Works
Using the tool takes three simple steps. First, you select the category that best describes your situation from eight broad options — ranging from household products and prescription medications to workplace chemical exposure and rideshare safety. The tool then asks one or two follow-up questions to narrow down which specific lawsuit might apply to you.
After answering the quiz questions, you can optionally enter your state and the date you first noticed the problem. This allows the tool to check your statute of limitations — the legal deadline for filing a claim. If your deadline is approaching or may have passed, the tool will alert you immediately so you can take action.
Your results page shows each matched lawsuit with a confidence level (High Match, Possible Match, or Low Match), a brief description of who qualifies, the number of pending cases, and a direct link to our detailed guide for that lawsuit. The quiz also provides a step-by-step action plan explaining what to do next.
What Lawsuits Does the Eligibility Quiz Tool Cover?
This free screening tool currently checks against 25 of the largest active mass tort lawsuits in the United States. These lawsuits span five major categories, and together they represent over 500,000 pending cases tracked by the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation (JPML):
Consumer Products: The eligibility quiz tool covers lawsuits involving Johnson & Johnson talcum powder (67,376 cases), chemical hair relaxers (11,371 cases), social media addiction (2,465 cases), and rideshare assault claims against Uber and Lyft.
Pharmaceuticals: It also screens for harm from GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy, proton-pump inhibitors, Zantac, Depo-Provera, Suboxone, contaminated blood pressure medications, and prescription opioids.
Medical Devices: The quiz covers Bard hernia mesh, Paragard IUD, Bard PowerPort, IVC blood clot filters, Allergan breast implants, Exactech joint replacements, and Bair Hugger surgical warming devices.
Environmental Exposure: The tool screens for Camp Lejeune water contamination (409,910 claims), PFAS and AFFF firefighting foam (15,222 cases), Roundup weedkiller, and Paraquat herbicide exposure.
New lawsuits are added to the screening tool as they become significant enough to track. Data is sourced from the JPML, the U.S. Courts system, and published court records.
Mass tort lawsuits are different from individual lawsuits. When hundreds or thousands of people are harmed by the same product or company, a federal court can consolidate all the cases into a single proceeding called multidistrict litigation (MDL). This makes the legal process more efficient without taking away any individual plaintiff’s right to their own settlement amount. The tool above screens your answers against the eligibility criteria for these large consolidated cases, helping you determine whether your experience aligns with an active MDL.
What to Do After Using the Eligibility Quiz Tool
If the quiz shows a match, your next step is to gather any relevant documentation — medical records, product receipts, employment history, or anything related to your exposure. Then use our Statute of Limitations Lookup Tool to verify your filing deadline in your state, and our Damage Cap Lookup Tool to understand the maximum compensation your state allows.
Mass tort attorneys typically work on a contingency basis, which means they only get paid if you win your case. Initial consultations are almost always free. You do not need to have a lawyer to use the eligibility quiz tool, but you will need one to actually file a claim. Use the eligibility quiz tool as your starting point, and the sooner you act, the better — filing deadlines vary by state and can be as short as one year in states like Kentucky, Louisiana, and Tennessee.
If the quiz does not find a match, that does not necessarily mean you have no legal options. New lawsuits are filed regularly, and your situation may fall outside the 25 cases the tool currently tracks. You can browse our complete state tort reform guide or explore our full list of active MDL cases for additional options.
Frequently Asked Questions About the Eligibility Quiz Tool
Is this eligibility quiz tool really free?
Yes. This tool is completely free, requires no email or sign-up, and stores no personal data. Your answers are processed entirely in your browser and are never sent to any server. We built this tool to help people learn about lawsuits they may not know exist.
How accurate is the eligibility quiz tool?
The eligibility quiz tool provides a general screening based on the most common eligibility criteria for each lawsuit. It cannot replace a legal evaluation by a licensed attorney. Think of it as a starting point — if the tool shows a match, it means your situation has characteristics that align with an active lawsuit, and you should speak with an attorney to get a definitive answer.
What does “High Match” vs “Possible Match” mean?
A High Match means your answers closely align with the core eligibility criteria for that lawsuit. A Possible Match means there is overlap but additional factors would need to be evaluated. A Low Match means your situation has some connection but may not be strong enough on its own. In all cases, only an attorney can determine actual eligibility.
Does using this tool create an attorney-client relationship?
No. The eligibility quiz tool is an informational resource, not legal advice. No attorney-client relationship is formed by using this tool. If you want legal representation, you will need to contact and retain an attorney separately, as explained by the American Bar Association.
Why does the tool ask for my state and injury date?
Your state determines which statute of limitations applies to your case — the legal deadline for filing. Your injury date allows the quiz to calculate whether that deadline has passed or is approaching. Both fields are optional, and this information is never stored or transmitted.
Attorney Advertising. The information on this page is provided for general informational purposes only and does not constitute legal advice. No attorney-client relationship is created by accessing or using this content. Every case is unique, and results depend on the specific facts and circumstances involved. Past settlement amounts and case outcomes do not guarantee similar results in your case. If you believe you have a legal claim, you should consult with a licensed attorney in your jurisdiction who can evaluate your specific situation.
