Abbott spinal cord stimulator lawsuits are being filed by patients who say devices intended to relieve their chronic pain instead caused electrical shocks, burning sensations, worsening pain, neurological injuries, and additional surgery. Some patients say their stimulators failed after repeated reprogramming attempts. Others allege that the leads moved, that the system stopped delivering treatment, or that Abbott representatives became more involved in their medical care than they should have, putting Abbott’s interests ahead of the patients’ well-being.

That paragraph is a nutshell of what this litigation is about. The number of filed cases is low right now, but our lawyers believe this litigation will eventually involve thousands of claims. We are getting a lot of calls in these cases, and lawyers we work with are also reporting that they are developing huge inventories of these cases.

Bard PowerPort lawsuits allege that defects in implanted port catheters can cause fractures, migration, blood clots, infections, embolisms, and other serious complications. Thousands of product liability lawsuits are now pending against Bard and its parent company, Becton Dickinson, in a federal multidistrict litigation in Arizona. After a long slog, these cases are now moving forward.

The first bellwether trial ended with a partial defense verdict and a deadlocked jury on the central design defect claim. The most recent completed trial, Divelbliss v. C.R. Bard, led to a $40 million verdict. It involved an alleged fracture of a silicone Groshong catheter. Five bellwether trials are now expected to run through February 2027. The first two trials produced very different results, and the third trial began in October 2026. Our lawyers remain bullish on well-documented fracture, migration, and embolization cases.

This page provides the latest Bard PowerPort lawsuit updates, projected settlement amounts, and information about who may qualify to file a claim.

This page provides updates on Camp Lejeune lawsuits.

Our lawyers are still working to give the latest update on the litigation, even though we are no longer taking new cases. Why? Because there is little information out there, and we are staying with victims, including those we do not represent, until the end.

We recently reopened the comments below on October 19 to give you a chance to share your thoughts.

Roblox lawsuits are being filed by families who allege predators used the platform to groom, manipulate, exploit, or gain access to minors. These child sexual abuse and exploitation cases challenge years of Roblox branding itself as a safe place for children to create and play. Plaintiffs contend that its safety systems did not match that promise.

Federal lawsuits filed around the country allege that Roblox failed to protect minors from foreseeable exploitation and grooming risks. Most of these individual cases are now coordinated in the Roblox MDL in the Northern District of California, Case No. 25-md-03166-RS, before Chief Judge Richard Seeborg.

This page is about social media addiction lawsuits and who is eligible to bring a claim. Our lawyers also provide the latest news on social media lawsuits, including the upcoming trial in California and the federal social media addiction MDL.

The problem that led to social media lawsuits is that millions of people, too many of whom are children, are addicted to social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok, and YouTube. For these vulnerable users, social media addiction can be very harmful and lead to things like eating disorders, depression, self-harm, and, in some cases, suicide.

Now, these companies are facing a wave of lawsuits alleging that they knowingly designed the algorithms of their platforms to lure young people into harmful addictions.

Uber is defending thousands of sexual assault lawsuits brought by passengers who say they were sexually assaulted by Uber drivers. Plaintiffs are asking what Uber knew about the risk of sexual assault, how it screened drivers, what happened when complaints came in, and whether the company could have done more to keep dangerous drivers off the platform.

In February 2026, a federal jury awarded $8.5 million to a woman who alleged she was raped by an Uber driver. The jury found Uber liable under an apparent-agency theory, although it rejected separate claims involving Uber’s negligence and the design of its safety systems. The verdict was a significant victory for plaintiffs, but it also showed that the legal theory used to establish Uber’s liability can matter enormously.

Victims of sexual abuse or assault, either as a child or an adult, have the right to bring a civil lawsuit against both their abuser and any school, company, or organization that might be liable for the abuse.

For decades, schools, churches, and treatment centers have used a playbook to silence victims, destroying records, intimidating survivors, and using legal loopholes to dodge responsibility. But courts are catching up, and new laws in New York are forcing these institutions to pay for the harm they caused.

In this post, we will provide a brief overview of sexual abuse lawsuits in New York. We will explain the applicable statute of limitations for sex abuse civil cases in New York and how settlement amounts are calculated in these cases.

The Apple AirTag litigation now includes a federal MDL for people who allege that Apple AirTags were used to stalk, track, threaten, or harm them. On October 2, 2026, the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation consolidated the federal AirTag stalking lawsuits into MDL No. 3199 in the Northern District of California, transferring 17 lawsuits from 13 federal districts to one judge.

There is no AirTag settlement for all victims. Not yet. But Apple says it has already settled a number of individual AirTag stalking claims. The Apple AirTag MDL gives us a chance to screen these cases and put them on an organized path forward. It is rare to be talking settlement this early in an MDL. But Apple has already shown that it is willing to resolve at least some of these claims.

What are these cases about? The core allegation is simple. Apple created a small, inexpensive, remarkably effective tracking device that could be hidden in a car, purse, backpack, or other personal property. For most uses, it is a fantastic device. The problem is Apple knew before AirTag was released that the device could be abused for stalking. Of course, Apple did not want this and built anti-stalking protections. The claim in these lawsuits is that those protections were not nearly enough to protect some victims.
