Nitrous oxide cartridges, often sold under names like Whip-Its, Galaxy Gas, and Baking Bad, are now at the center of a growing wave of lawsuits across the country. Our lawyers are handling claims against manufacturers, distributors, and retailers for serious nitrous oxide injuries.

What was marketed as a novelty or culinary product has become a common recreational inhalant, especially among young people. Repeated use is dangerous. It can cause neurological injury, psychiatric damage, spinal cord dysfunction, and in some cases, death. Nitrous oxide use is now showing up in medical records, emergency rooms, and court filings. This is a serious and escalating problem.

Lawsuits allege that companies failed to warn about known risks, marketed products in ways that encouraged abuse, and ignored clear signs of harm. Cases include personal injury and wrongful death claims, as well as proposed class actions arising from deceptive labeling and distribution practices. These claims could eventually be consolidated in a federal MDL for coordinated pretrial proceedings.

Video game addiction lawsuits are gaining momentum as families and individuals come forward to seek accountability from gaming companies for the harm caused by gaming addiction. These cases focus on holding video game manufacturers accountable for exploiting vulnerable players, particularly minors and young adults, through intentionally addictive game designs. Gaming addiction has caused significant harm, including mental health struggles, social isolation, and financial strain, as companies prioritize profit over user safety.

Our attorneys examine the rise of video game addiction lawsuits and delve into key aspects such as the alleged failure to warn and the intentional design defects that make games like Fortnite, Roblox, Minecraft, and Call of Duty so addictive.

While these lawsuits are still in their early stages, we focus on the heart of these cases: the significant injuries sustained by individuals and the potential settlement payouts, as financial compensation is central to resolving these civil claims. Below, we also explore updates on specific lawsuits, recent litigation trends, and eligibility criteria for filing a video game addiction lawsuit. We also look at the potential settlement value of these lawsuits if they play out as our lawyers expect.

A spinal cord stimulator is an implantable medical device used to manage chronic pain, most often involving the back or spine. These systems are marketed as a way to reduce pain by interrupting nerve signals before they reach the brain. But for a growing number of patients, the device does not just fail to help. It introduces new and sometimes permanent problems, including electrical shocks, burning pain, infections, lead migration, hardware failure, and repeat surgeries to reposition or remove equipment that was supposed to improve quality of life.

This page explains spinal cord stimulator lawsuits and why they are being filed nationwide. It focuses on what patients are alleging, how these devices have failed in real-world use, and why many of these cases go beyond ordinary medical malpractice claims. The most serious lawsuits do not center on a single surgical mistake. They examine how modern spinal cord stimulators were designed, how they were tested, how they were approved, and whether patients were ever adequately warned about the risks that now appear repeatedly in medical records and FDA reports.

Many people arrive here with a practical question in mind: what do spinal cord stimulator settlement amounts look like, and how does compensation get calculated when a device causes lasting harm? That question cannot be answered in isolation. Settlement amounts and payouts are driven by the full medical timeline, including the cost of repeat surgeries, explantation, permanent loss of function, and the downstream consequences when a pain-management device leaves someone worse off than before it was implanted.
