School Sexual Abuse Lawsuit Settlements

Anyone who was sexually abused at school may have a civil claim against the school, school district, or other responsible parties. Whether the school itself can be held liable usually depends on what school officials knew or should have known, whether they failed to act on warning signs, and the law of the state where the abuse occurred. Any form or level of unwanted sexual touching can form the basis for a sexual abuse lawsuit.

This post will look at sexual abuse lawsuits filed against schools. These school sex abuse lawsuits can be brought by current or former students who were the victims of sexual abuse committed by a teacher or another student at school. Successful plaintiffs can get significant financial compensation.

Our law firm handles these cases nationwide, and we want to help you. If you have a potential sexual abuse lawsuit against a school, contact attorneys today for a free consultation. Contact us online or call us at 800-553-8082.

Washington Sex Abuse Lawsuits

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

If you were the victim of sexual abuse or assault in Seattle or anywhere in Washington, either as a child or an adult, you may have the right to bring a civil lawsuit. The lawsuit may name not only the abuser but also a school, facility, company, government agency, church, or other organization that enabled the abuse or failed to protect you. Our sex abuse attorneys help survivors hold these institutions accountable.

This page looks at sexual abuse lawsuits in Washington, including recent cases, settlement amounts, the statute of limitations, and what you actually have to prove to bring a claim.

Washington has also changed its statute of limitations for childhood sexual abuse. For qualifying abuse occurring on or after June 6, 2024, there is no civil statute of limitations. Older claims are different. We explain those rules below because, unfortunately, the answer for an older survivor is not nearly as simple.

Social Media Addiction Lawsuit

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

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 lawsuits, including the upcoming trial in California and the federal social media addiction MDL.

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

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

Uber Sexual Assault Lawsuits

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

By Ronald V. Miller, Jr. Miller & Zois has extensive experience representing survivors of sexual abuse. Our attorneys include partner Laura G. Zois, who handles sexual assault lawsuits.

Uber is defending thousands of sexual assault lawsuits brought by passengers who say they were sexually assaulted by Uber drivers. Plaintiffs are asking what Uber knew about the risk of sexual assault, how it screened drivers, what happened when complaints came in, and whether the company could have done more to keep dangerous drivers off the platform.

In February 2026, a federal jury awarded $8.5 million to a woman who alleged she was raped by an Uber driver. The jury found Uber liable under an apparent-agency theory, although it rejected separate claims involving Uber’s negligence and the design of its safety systems. The verdict was a significant victory for plaintiffs, but it also showed that the legal theory used to establish Uber’s liability can matter enormously.

Apple AirTag Stalking Lawsuit: MDL 3199 Updates and Settlement Value

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

The Apple AirTag litigation now includes a federal MDL for people who allege that Apple AirTags were used to stalk, track, threaten, or harm them. On October 2, 2026, the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation consolidated the federal AirTag stalking lawsuits into MDL No. 3199 in the Northern District of California, transferring 17 lawsuits from 13 federal districts to one judge.

There is no AirTag settlement for all victims. Not yet. But Apple says it has already settled a number of individual AirTag stalking claims. The Apple AirTag MDL gives us a chance to screen these cases and put them on an organized path forward. It is rare to be talking settlement this early in an MDL. But Apple has already shown that it is willing to resolve at least some of these claims.

What are these cases about? The core allegation is simple. Apple created a small, inexpensive, remarkably effective tracking device that could be hidden in a car, purse, backpack, or other personal property. For most uses, it is a fantastic device. The problem is Apple knew before AirTag was released that the device could be abused for stalking. Of course, Apple did not want this and built anti-stalking protections. The claim in these lawsuits is that those protections were not nearly enough to protect some victims.
