Does this mean that we'll soon be inundated with lawyer ads that say we're Entitled to Compensation?

The US legal system often takes years before something like this gets to a settlement.

You may be entitled to a settlement of seventy-five cents and your weight in plastic ashtrays. Call now!

It's going to be a settlement and most likely it will be like tobacco and opioids settlements...

States are supposed to get it to help the victims, when in reality it's at best used as a random slush fund and excuse to lower taxes on the wealthy.

At worst it'll be used to directly help the industry that caused the damage.
