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 class action lawsuits.

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, and others. For these vulnerable users, social media addiction can be very harmful and lead to things like eating disorders, depression, and, in some cases, suicide.

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

Our lawyers are handling Similac and Enfamil infant formula lawsuits for families whose premature babies suffered or died from necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) after taking one of these formulas.  Our law firm is reviewing NEC lawsuits in all 50 states.

Medical research links cow milk-based infant formulas such as Similac and Enfamil to a dangerous neonatal medical condition known as necrotizing enterocolitis.  These newborn NEC formula lawsuits make a lot of allegations.  But at their core, they allege that the makers of these formulas knew of the risk of NEC and did nothing to warn families and give them a choice.

If your premature baby was diagnosed with NEC after being given Similac or Enfamil formula, you may be able to participate in a class action lawsuit against the formula companies and receive financial compensation for the harm that was done to your child.

Our lawyers are handling AFFF firefighting foam lawsuits around the country.

This page provides the most recent news and updates on the AFFF firefighting foam class action lawsuit and our prediction of the settlement amounts that plaintiffs with AFFF cancer lawsuits can expect to receive. You will not get more updated news on the AFFF litigation anywhere else.

Our AFFF firefighting foam lawyers believe the defendants will settle most of these lawsuits this year (2025) before a single trial.  Why? They will follow the same pattern as the water contamination lawsuits they settled for billions of dollars.  In those cases, we saw the defendants’ apparent preference for settlement over the uncertainties of a trial.  This makes sense; the AFFF lawsuits are strong cases.

Were you or a loved one diagnosed with Cutaneous T-Cell Lymphoma (CTCL) after taking Dupixent (dupilumab)? Our firm is reviewing potential lawsuits for patients who developed lymphoma and other serious side effects linked to this widely prescribed biologic. These cases allege that Dupixent can trigger or accelerate rare blood cancers, including CTCL, and that the drug manufacturers failed to provide adequate warnings about those risks.

Over the last several years, dermatologists and immunologists have reported a pattern that should give any responsible manufacturer pause.  A subset of patients started Dupixent for what everyone thought was routine atopic dermatitis, only to be diagnosed with cutaneous T-cell lymphoma.

What follows is a clear-eyed examination of the medical literature, the regulatory record, and the litigation posture, written for victims and lawyers who seek analysis (rather than a law firm telling you how great they are). So our goal here is to explain how our lawyers evaluate these cases, where the science is moving, which defenses you can expect, and what it will take to prove causation and damages in a courtroom. We also talk about potential Deupxient settlement amounts if this litigation is as successful as we predict.

Nitrous oxide cartridges, often sold under brand names like Whip-Its, Galaxy Gas, and Baking Bad, have become the focus of a growing wave of lawsuits across the United States.  Our lawyers are handling Whip-Its lawsuits and other claims that target the manufacturers of nitrous oxide cartridges.

What was once a novelty or culinary product has become a common recreational inhalant, especially among young people. The health consequences of repeated use are now well-documented: neurological injuries, psychiatric damage, spinal cord dysfunction, and in some tragic cases, death.

Litigation is emerging in multiple states as more people come forward, alleging that manufacturers, distributors, and retailers failed to provide sufficient warnings, marketed products in ways that promoted abuse, and ignored clear patterns of harm. These cases span from wrongful death and permanent disability to class actions based on deceptive labeling and distribution practices. There is also a class action lawsuit and the possibility of an MDL.

Video game addiction lawsuits are gaining momentum as families and individuals come forward to seek accountability from gaming companies for the harm caused by gaming addiction. These cases focus on holding video game manufacturers 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, and financial strain, as companies prioritize profit over user safety.

Our attorneys examine the rise of video game addiction lawsuits and delve into key aspects such as the alleged failure to warn and the intentional design defects that make games like Fortnite, Roblox, Minecraft, and Call of Duty so addictive.

While these lawsuits are still in their early stages, we focus on the heart of these cases: the significant injuries sustained by individuals and the potential settlement payouts, as financial compensation is central to resolving these civil claims. Below, we also explore updates on specific lawsuits, recent litigation trends, and eligibility criteria for filing a video game addiction lawsuit. We also look at the potential settlement value of these lawsuits if they play out as our lawyers expect.
