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 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 costs of repeat surgeries, explantation, and permanent loss of function, as well as the downstream consequences when a pain-management device leaves someone worse off than before it was implanted.

Our lawyers are investigating gambling addiction lawsuits involving DraftKings, FanDuel, BetMGM, Caesars, ESPN Bet, Bet365, Fanatics Sportsbook, Hard Rock Bet, and other online betting platforms. The central allegation is that these companies had the data to recognize compulsive gambling behavior and, instead of slowing vulnerable users down, continued pushing bonus bets, deposit matches, notifications, VIP offers, profit boosts, parlays, microbets, and personalized promotions.

If you or your child suffered serious harm from online sports betting addiction, the first question is not whether gambling was legal. The first question is whether the platform used design, data, and marketing to keep a vulnerable user betting when a responsible operator should have stepped in.

If you or someone you love has suffered severe financial and emotional harm because of addiction to online gambling or sports betting, contact our lawyers at 800-553-8082 or get a free, no-obligation online consultation.

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.

The first bellwether trial ended with a partial defense verdict and a deadlocked jury on the central design defect claim. Additional trials are scheduled for 2026. Our lawyers remain bullish on well-documented fracture, migration, and embolization cases. Infection-only claims may face harder causation arguments and could receive lower settlement offers if Bard eventually proposes a global resolution.

This page provides the latest Bard PowerPort lawsuit updates, projected settlement amounts, and information about who may qualify to file a claim. No global settlement has been announced, and all payout estimates remain speculative.

This page explains the Suboxone tooth decay lawsuits, the dental injuries linked to Suboxone film, and where the federal MDL stands in 2026.

The core claim in the Suboxone litigation is straightforward: plaintiffs allege that Indivior and related defendants knew, or should have known, that Suboxone film could cause severe dental damage, including tooth decay, enamel erosion, broken teeth, tooth loss, and expensive dental reconstruction. Plaintiffs contend the companies failed to warn patients and prescribing doctors until the FDA forced a dental warning in 2022.

Our firm is not accepting new Suboxone cases in 2026. This page is provided for litigation updates and general information for victims and their families

Women are still filing vaginal mesh lawsuits and bladder sling lawsuits in 2026, but this is no longer the enormous federal mass tort it was a decade ago. The old federal MDLs have closed. Most legacy claims have been resolved, and the remaining litigation is concentrated in individual cases and state-court dockets, including active Johnson & Johnson and Ethicon pelvic mesh cases in New Jersey.

A viable case now depends less on the history of the old litigation and more on specific proof: the manufacturer and product, the date of implantation, mesh erosion or another documented complication, revision surgery, and medical evidence connecting the implant to the injury. Our lawyers are currently focused on selected claims involving Johnson & Johnson/Ethicon and Coloplast products. We are not accepting new Boston Scientific mesh claims.

This page provides our latest transvaginal mesh lawsuit update, explains bladder sling complications lawsuits, discusses settlement value, and answers whether it may still be possible to file. Call 800-553-8082 or contact us online for a free case review.
