Ocaliva Lawsuit 2026

Ocaliva was supposed to protect your liver. Instead, for many, it destroyed it.

Ocaliva was sold as a treatment for primary biliary cholangitis, a chronic disease that damages the bile ducts in the liver. It came to market with promise. It left the market under a cloud of serious liver injury, transplant, and death.

By late 2025, the FDA had withdrawn approval of Ocaliva after concluding the postmarketing evidence showed excess liver transplants and deaths, and did not verify the clinical benefit the company needed to prove. Intercept then pulled the drug from the United States market.

UHS Hartgrove Hospital Sex Abuse Lawsuit Settlements

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

Hartgrove Behavioral Health System, located in Chicago, Illinois, is a psychiatric facility that provides inpatient and outpatient mental health treatment to children, adolescents, and adults. Owned and operated by UHS of Hartgrove, Inc., a subsidiary of Universal Health Services (UHS), the facility serves patients suffering from a range of psychiatric disorders, including depression, PTSD, ADHD, and behavioral disorders.

Despite its mission to provide psychiatric care, Hartgrove Hospital has faced persistent allegations of abuse, neglect, and institutional failures, particularly concerning the treatment of minors. Over the years, reports have surfaced of staff members exploiting patients, failure to supervise vulnerable minors, and systemic efforts to cover up abuse rather than report it. These allegations are consistent with issues found across multiple UHS-owned behavioral health facilities. This page examines the problem, explains the allegations, and outlines our lawyers’ view of what the UHS Hartgrove settlement payouts will look like.

If you or a loved one experienced abuse at Hartgrove or another UHS facility, call us at 800-553-8082 or reach out to us confidentially online.

Herniated Disc Case Settlements in Florida

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

Herniated disc injuries are among the most common and most contested claims in Florida personal injury law. They arise from car accidents, slip and falls, workplace incidents, and other traumatic events, and they can range from a minor annoyance to a permanently disabling condition. Because the injury is invisible to the naked eye and often overlaps with normal age-related degeneration, insurance companies fight these cases hard. They hire their own doctors, dispute causation, and argue that the disc was already damaged before the accident.

This page is designed to help injury victims, their families, and attorneys understand what Florida juries have actually done in these cases. Below you will find a detailed breakdown of one verdict, including the strategic decisions that shaped the outcome, followed by a broad collection of Florida herniated disc verdicts and settlements from recent years. The goal is not to predict what any particular case is worth, because no two cases are alike, but to give you a realistic picture of the range of outcomes and the factors that drive them.

The goal is not to predict what any particular case is worth, because no two cases are alike, but to give you a realistic picture of the range of outcomes and the factors that drive them.

On our website, we provide a ton of verdict information for victims, many of whom suffered a herniated disc. This helps provide some context for the value of a case. But it hardly tells the real story of the claim and why a jury may have valued it how they did. So hopefully posts like this help educate those looking for answers.

Our attorneys help victims who have suffered a herniated disc injury in a car, truck, or motorcycle accident or in a slip and fall. Contact our office today for a free consultation at 800-553-8082 or get a free online consultation.

Nitrous Oxide Injury Lawsuits

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

Nitrous oxide cartridges, often sold under names like Whip-Its, Galaxy Gas, and Baking Bad, are now at the center of a growing wave of lawsuits across the country. Our lawyers are handling claims against manufacturers, distributors, and retailers for serious nitrous oxide injuries.

What was marketed as a novelty or culinary product has become a common recreational inhalant, especially among young people. Repeated use is dangerous. It can cause neurological injury, psychiatric damage, spinal cord dysfunction, and in some cases, death. Nitrous oxide use is now showing up in medical records, emergency rooms, and court filings. This is a serious and escalating problem.

Lawsuits allege that companies failed to warn about known risks, marketed products in ways that encouraged abuse, and ignored clear signs of harm. Cases include personal injury and wrongful death claims, as well as proposed class actions arising from deceptive labeling and distribution practices. These claims could eventually be consolidated in a federal MDL for coordinated pretrial proceedings.
