Consumer product safety testing has confirmed that several dry shampoo products contain dangerously high levels of benzene, a known human carcinogen. This discovery has led to sweeping product recalls and the filing of multiple consumer class action lawsuits across the United States over the past 18 months.

Emerging evidence suggests that long-term use of benzene-contaminated dry shampoo products may increase the risk of leukemia, lymphoma, and other forms of blood cancer. Our national mass tort law firm is now reviewing claims for individuals who used aerosol dry shampoo products regularly and were later diagnosed with any blood-related cancer.

Sexual abuse lawsuits in Georgia are becoming more common as survivors come forward to hold schools, churches, residential treatment centers, and other institutions accountable. Georgia sex abuse attorneys are now filing lawsuits against third-party organizations that enabled or ignored abuse, even when the abuse happened years ago. While Georgia’s statute of limitations laws are still more restrictive than in other states, recent court decisions and public pressure have created more legal opportunities for victims of sexual abuse to seek justice and compensation through civil litigation.

This page explains how Georgia sex abuse lawsuits work and what survivors need to know about the legal process. We cover who can be sued in civil sex abuse cases, the statute of limitations for both adult and child victims, and the average settlement payouts and jury verdicts in Georgia sex abuse cases. Whether the abuse occurred in a public school, juvenile detention center, private therapy program, religious institution, or through rideshare services like Uber or Lyft, our lawyers can help determine whether you have a case and who may be financially liable.

Georgia sexual abuse lawsuits are being filed in both state and federal court, including claims against school districts under Title IX, civil rights lawsuits under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, and claims against private organizations for negligent hiring, supervision, and failure to protect. Plaintiffs are also pursuing lawsuits related to institutional abuse at residential treatment centers and youth programs, particularly those with a history of staff misconduct or regulatory violations. If you or a loved one suffered abuse, a civil lawsuit can provide both financial compensation and public accountability for those who failed to protect you.

This page will look at civil lawsuits for sexual abuse of female prisoners at the California Institution for Women (CIW) in Chino. Inmates at CIW have been subjected to sexual abuse at the hands of correctional officers through threats and coercion. Many inmates have also been sexually abused by the prison OB-GYN during medical exams.

The California Institution for Women in Chino has a long, complicated, and depressing history. It is the oldest women’s prison in the state. It has housed notorious inmates over the years, including several Manson Family members. But today, CIW is known for something else, something much darker. Women incarcerated at CIW are stepping forward to reveal a culture of sexual abuse, denial, and silence that lasted for years behind the prison walls.

Our firm is currently accepting new CIW sex abuse cases. If you were sexually abused or assaulted at CIW prison, contact our sex abuse lawyers today at 800-553-8082 or contact us online.

Uber is facing one of the largest waves of passenger sexual assault lawsuits in U.S. history. Survivors across the country allege that Uber drivers sexually assaulted them and that the company is legally responsible because it failed to screen drivers properly, ignored prior complaints, and did not implement basic safety measures.

These claims are now consolidated in In re: Uber Technologies Inc., Passenger Sexual Assault Litigation (MDL No. 3084) in the Northern District of California. As of August 2025, more than 2,500 plaintiffs in over 29 states have joined the MDL, with that number expected to continue to rise throughout 2025. The first Uber sex abuse trial is set for December 8, 2025. Uber might seek, if they are smart, a global Uber settlement before that trial.

Our lawyers believe these are exceptionally strong cases. The evidence points to a pattern: repeated warnings about dangerous drivers, no action from Uber, and preventable assaults that followed. In the courtroom, that is the kind of timeline juries understand and respond to. It is also the kind of fact pattern that can lead to substantial Uber sexual assault settlement amounts.

Has the deadline passed for you to file a talcum powder lawsuit? Many who assume the statute of limitations has passed to sue Johnson & Johnson may be wrong.

The Bard PowerPort (“BardPort”) is a port catheter device implanted just under the skin to allow for easy attachment to a catheter for the intravenous delivery of fluids or medication.

The Bard PowerPort has inherent design and manufacturing flaws that make the device prone to fracturing and migrating out of position. This can cause severe injuries, including internal vascular damage.

Individuals who suffered injuries due to a defective Bard PowerPort device are now bringing product liability lawsuits against the manufacturer of the PowerPort implants. Our firm is currently accepting new cases from anyone who had a Bard PowerPort port catheter device implanted and was injured due to a fracture, migration, or other implant failures.
