Liability Overview

Liability Considerations in Fresno

Fresno families who fed their infants qualifying baby food brands between 2010 and 2023 benefit from California's strong discovery rule and minor tolling until age 20. The San Joaquin Valley has one of the highest concentrations of agricultural workers in the country, creating a community with significant WIC program participation and documented reliance on packaged commercial baby food brands including Gerber, Beech-Nut, and Parent's Choice. Valley Children's Healthcare system, while located in neighboring Madera, serves as the primary pediatric academic center for the Central Valley and provides ASD evaluation and developmental behavioral pediatrics. The San Joaquin Valley Regional Center serves Fresno, Madera, Kings, and Tulare counties and maintains detailed records for children with developmental disabilities.
