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.

Roblox Child Sexual Abuse Lawsuit

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

Roblox lawsuits are being filed by families who allege predators used the platform to groom, manipulate, exploit, or gain access to minors. These child sexual abuse and exploitation cases challenge years of Roblox branding itself as a safe place for children to create and play. Plaintiffs contend that its safety systems did not match that promise.

Federal lawsuits filed around the country allege that Roblox failed to protect minors from foreseeable exploitation and grooming risks. Most of these individual cases are now coordinated in the Roblox MDL in the Northern District of California, Case No. 25-md-03166-RS, before Chief Judge Richard Seeborg.

The core allegations are straightforward. Families claim Roblox failed to enforce meaningful barriers between adults and children and profited from design choices that kept young users engaged while leaving them vulnerable. Many complaints describe the same pattern: a predator initiates contact through in-game chat or messaging, builds trust, and then moves the conversation to Discord, Snapchat, or another outside service where the exploitation escalates.

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.

Sex Abuse Lawsuits Against Illinois Youth Center Harrisburg

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

This page looks at civil lawsuits involving the sexual abuse of juvenile inmates at Illinois Youth Center Harrisburg (IYC Harrisburg). Former inmates allege that they were sexually abused by staff members who were supposed to be protecting them. These claims are part of the wider Illinois juvenile detention center sexual abuse litigation, in which survivors are seeking compensation for abuse that occurred while they were children in state custody.

The Illinois Department of Juvenile Justice had an obligation to protect children at IYC Harrisburg. The lawsuits allege that state employees and officials failed to prevent abuse, ignored warning signs, and in some cases failed to act when young people reported what was happening. Federal survey results and independent monitoring reports raise serious questions about whether the safeguards at Harrisburg were adequate.

The litigation has grown considerably since the first cases were filed in 2024. In a March 2026 disclosure, Illinois acknowledged 48 Court of Claims cases involving more than 1,100 claimants alleging sexual abuse at state youth centers. The state is fighting the lawsuits, including by seeking dismissal on procedural grounds.

Tennessee Personal Injury Verdicts | Average and Median Awards

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

This page will look at the trial and settlement value of personal injury cases in Tennessee. We will also look at key points of Tennessee law on personal injury and tort cases.

How much is a personal injury case worth in Tennessee? That depends on the injury, the evidence, the insurance coverage, and where the case is filed. But Tennessee adds a few problems that injured people in many other states do not have to deal with. There is a one-year statute of limitations for most injury claims, a harsh comparative fault rule, and statutory limits on pain and suffering damages that can take millions of dollars away from a jury’s verdict.

There is another problem that does not get nearly enough attention. Tennessee generally makes each negligent defendant responsible only for its own percentage of fault. If an insurance company can convince the jury that someone else caused part of the injury, even someone who is not in the courtroom, that can reduce the amount its insured has to pay.

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.
