Thousands of hernia mesh lawsuits are pending in courts across the country. Our hernia mesh lawyers are handling these cases in all 50 states.

The plaintiffs in these lawsuits are individuals with defective hernia mesh implanted during surgery, causing them to suffer severe post-surgical complications and injuries.

The hernia mesh lawsuits involve multiple hernia mesh products made by four medical device companies that are in (or were in) the litigation: Ethicon (a Johnson & Johnson subsidiary that has reached a settlement in most of its lawsuits), C.R. Bard (now part of Becton Dickinson), Covidien, and Atrium Medical Corp.

Suboxone Tooth Decay Lawsuit Update

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

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 required a dental warning in 2022.

Our lawyers are still taking selected Suboxone tooth decay lawsuits in 2026. We are screening these cases more carefully than we did earlier in the litigation. We know more now and, from seeing literally thousands of cases, we have a tighter handle on what we think will generate a Suboxone settlement.

Chlorpyrifos Parkinson’s Disease 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 (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.

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.

Olympus Scope Lawsuit

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

Between 2013 and 2024, contaminated Olympus duodenoscopes infected hundreds of patients at hospitals across the United States. At least 35 people died from these medical scopes.

What happened? These awful infections were caused by dangerous, drug-resistant bacteria that were extremely difficult to treat.

So you had patients who went to the hospital, often getting diagnostic or therapeutic procedures that they did not think would be a big deal, only to come out with infections that damaged organs, required months of intensive care, or, tragically, proved fatal.
