Uber Sexual Assault Lawsuits

Uber is facing the largest wave of passenger sexual assault lawsuits in U.S. history. Survivors across the country allege that Uber drivers sexually assaulted them and that the company is legally responsible because it failed to screen drivers properly, ignored prior complaints, and did not implement basic safety measures.

These claims are now consolidated in In re: Uber Technologies Inc., Passenger Sexual Assault Litigation, MDL No. 3084, in the Northern District of California. The Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation centralized these lawsuits because they share common factual questions about Uber’s knowledge of sexual assault reports, driver screening, driver training, and safety measures. This is not technically a class action lawsuit. It is an MDL where the cases are consolidated for discovery, but each victim maintains her own claim.

As of June 2026, more than 3,000 plaintiffs have joined the federal MDL, with hundreds more cases still pending in the California coordinated proceeding. The first MDL trial began in January 2026, and the jury returned an $8.5 million verdict in early February.

Chlorpyrifos Lawsuits

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

Chlorpyrifos lawsuits allege that repeated exposure to this widely used insecticide can contribute to Parkinson’s disease. The people most likely to bring these claims are farmers, pesticide applicators, pest control workers, groundskeepers, greenhouse employees, and others who personally mixed, loaded, sprayed, or cleaned up chlorpyrifos products over months or years.

Chlorpyrifos was sold under trade names that include Dursban, Lorsban, Cobalt, Nufos, Bolton, Stallion, Pilot, Warhawk, and Hatchet. It was used on farms, golf courses, ornamental plants, and residential and commercial properties. Many workers remember the trade name but not the active ingredient. Product identification is therefore one of the first and most important parts of investigating a claim.

If you have Parkinson’s disease after years of working with pesticides, you may have wondered whether that exposure played a role. A December 2025 study gives lawyers and scientists a serious reason to investigate chlorpyrifos. Researchers associated estimated long-term residential exposure near agricultural applications with more than 2.5 times the risk of Parkinson’s disease. They also found Parkinson’s-related brain damage in mice that inhaled chlorpyrifos.

Roblox Child Sex Abuse Lawsuit

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

A growing number of families are filing Roblox child exploitation lawsuits after predators allegedly used the platform to groom, manipulate, or gain access to minors. Roblox spent years 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.

The core allegations are straightforward. Families claim Roblox failed to enforce meaningful barriers between adults and children and profited from design choices that kept young users engaged while leaving them vulnerable. Many complaints describe the same pattern: a predator initiates contact through in-game chat or messaging, builds trust, and then moves the conversation to Discord, Snapchat, or another outside service where the exploitation escalates.

Internal Bra Mesh Lawsuit

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

Breast mesh lawsuits allege that some manufacturers promoted or allowed their mesh products to become widely used in breast reconstruction, augmentation, and revision procedures despite the fact that FDA has not cleared or approved any surgical mesh product for use in breast surgery. The FDA has specifically stated that the safety and effectiveness of surgical mesh in breast surgery, including augmentation and reconstruction, has not been determined.

These internal bra lawsuits allege that manufacturers of products such as AlloDerm, GalaFLEX, Phasix, AlloMax, FlexHD, Strattice, and DuroSorb marketed their devices for breast reconstruction, augmentation, and revision surgeries even though those breast-specific applications had not been adequately studied or cleared by the FDA. Patients were not warned. Surgeons were not given enough information. So when complications developed, including infection, mesh failure, chronic pain, implant loss, breast deformity, and the need for additional surgery, many women had no reason to connect their injuries to the mesh product placed inside them.

This page explains the internal bra mesh lawsuit. Our lawyers talk about what the legal claims are, who may be eligible, what complications may qualify, how to identify your mesh product, what evidence matters, and what these cases may be worth.

Product Liability Claims

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

In the realm of personal injury law, product liability claims hold a unique and critical space. It is essential to understand that these claims can be broadly categorized into three types, where defendants can be held liable for personal injury or other damages. Here, we’ll delve into each of these three main types of product liability claims and provide examples of evidence or warnings that could potentially put you at risk.

Manufacturing Defect Claims

Manufacturing defect claims top the list in terms of frequency among product liability cases. These claims arise when a product, produced with a safety defect, poses an unreasonable risk for the consumer. The basis of such a claim is that the manufacturer deviated from a safe design, producing a good with a defect.
