Chlorpyrifos Parkinson’s Disease Lawsuits

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 (CPF) 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.

Spinal Cord Stimulator Lawsuit

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

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 fails 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, tested, and approved, and whether patients were ever adequately warned about the risks that now recur repeatedly in medical records and FDA reports.

Many victims want to know what spinal cord stimulator settlement amounts will look like and how we think compensation will be calculated, assuming an ultimate settlement. Settlement amounts and payouts in these cases will depend on several factors, which we dig into more fully below.

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?

Hair Relaxer Lawsuit

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

Our lawyers are reviewing hair relaxer cancer lawsuits for women across the United States. These claims involve women who used chemical hair relaxers or hair straighteners for years and were later diagnosed with uterine cancer, including endometrial cancer, ovarian cancer, or serious uterine fibroids that led to a hysterectomy.

The federal hair relaxer litigation included 12,381 pending lawsuits as of October 1, 2026. The cases are moving through expert discovery and bellwether preparation in the Northern District of Illinois. This litigation has been going on for years, but there is still no global hair relaxer settlement or MDL payout program. That does not mean our lawyers are not bullish on these cases. We are. It is just moving slowly, which is how it goes sometimes in the MDL mass torts. We still expect a favorable global settlement when all is said and done.

The strongest cases generally involve frequent, long-term use followed by uterine or ovarian cancer, a clear product history, and substantial treatment or reproductive injury.

Gambling Addiction Lawsuits: DraftKings and FanDuel

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

Our lawyers are primarily investigating gambling addiction lawsuits involving DraftKings and FanDuel.

These lawsuits revolve around the idea that these companies had the data to identify compulsive gambling behavior. Did they use that data to protect gambling addicts or did they use this information to target them?

No, just the opposite. Instead of slowing vulnerable users down, DraftKings, FanDuel, and other defendants allegedly saw them as cash cow targets and pushed bonus bets, deposit matches, and anything else they could to keep them addicted and burning money on their betting apps. So the issue at trial is whether the platform used design, data, and marketing to keep a vulnerable user betting when a responsible operator should have stepped in.

Video Game Addiction Lawsuit Settlements

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

Video game addiction lawsuits seek to hold gaming companies 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, sleep disruption, academic decline, financial strain, and family conflict. The lawsuits allege that gaming companies prioritized profit over user safety by designing games to keep children and young adults playing longer, spending more money, and returning even when the games were harming them.

Our attorneys examine claims involving Fortnite, Roblox, Minecraft, Call of Duty, Grand Theft Auto, Apex Legends, Madden, FIFA, and other online games. Below, we look at who may qualify, the video game addiction settlement value our lawyers project for successful claims, and the latest developments in court.

Gabapentin Lawsuit: Dementia and Memory Loss Claims

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

Gabapentin lawsuits are now being filed over dementia, mild cognitive impairment, memory loss, and other serious cognitive problems. New research has raised concerns about a link between these injuries and long-term or repeated gabapentin use.

These cases are still developing, and we are in the early rounds of this. The deeper our lawyers dig into these cases, the more we believe in them.

Now, the litigation is starting to move forward. It seems the center of the litigation will be in state court in Philadelphia. A mass tort program for lawsuits involving gabapentin, sold as Neurontin, and pregabalin, sold as Lyrica, has been established there.

Baby Food Autism Lawsuit

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

Our law firm is handling baby food autism lawsuits in all 50 states.

Several popular brands of baby food contain high levels of heavy metals such as mercury, arsenic, lead, and cadmium. These heavy metals are well-known neurotoxins. Thousands of children may have developed autism and other neurodevelopmental disorders due to toxic metals found in baby foods.

A growing number of parents are pursuing a toxic baby food lawsuit to hold manufacturers accountable for their children’s exposure to harmful contaminants. These baby food autism lawsuits allege the manufacturers knew about heavy metals in their products, and children developed autism from consuming them.

Tylenol Autism Lawsuit

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

Our lawyers stopped accepting new Tylenol autism and ADHD cases after Judge Denise Cote excluded the plaintiffs’ causation experts, a ruling that led to the dismissal of the federal lawsuits.

There is now real reason for renewed optimism. In July 2026, the Second Circuit overturned the judgments resulting from Judge Cote’s expert testimony rulings. The defendants then asked the appeals court to reconsider, and, as we discuss below, that request has now been denied.

But our firm has not yet resumed accepting new Tylenol autism or ADHD claims. The appeals court did not decide that Tylenol causes autism or ADHD, and important questions about the expert evidence still have to be addressed on remand. We will continue following the litigation and reassess our position as the next steps become clearer.
