Victim of sexual abuse or assault, either as a child or an adult, have the right to bring a civil lawsuit against both your abuser and any school, company, or organization that might be liable for the abuse.

For decades, schools, churches, and treatment centers have used a playbook to silence victims, destroying records, intimidating survivors, and using legal loopholes to dodge responsibility. But courts are catching up, and new laws in New York are forcing these institutions to pay for the harm they caused.

In this post, we will provide a brief overview of sexual abuse lawsuits in New York. We will explain the applicable statute of limitations for sex abuse civil cases in New York and how settlement amounts are calculated in these cases.

On this page, our national sex abuse lawyers explain what survivors of abuse at Kern County Juvenile Hall need to know about settlement amounts and potential compensation. For years, juveniles held in Kern County facilities were subjected to sexual abuse and assault at the hands of staff and, in some cases, other inmates. These cases are now coming to light, and survivors are pursuing civil lawsuits against Kern County for failing to protect children in its custody.

Our lawyers believe the settlement amounts in these cases will be substantial. Los Angeles County recently agreed to pay more than $4 billion to resolve juvenile hall sex abuse claims, with average payouts of nearly $600,000 per survivor. Kern County lawsuits may not reach that exact level, but the Los Angeles settlement set the benchmark for institutional abuse claims across California. Survivors in Kern County should expect meaningful compensation, even in older cases, as pressure builds on counties to resolve both timely and expired claims together.

Tylenol autism lawsuits are being filed nationwide with a new Tylenol Autism class action lawsuit – technically an MDL, as we explain below – now certified in federal court. But, as we discuss below, that MDL is on the thinnest of ice although we do not know what the latest support from the government might do.

We encourage parents interested in bringing a Tylenol lawsuit to consider filing a toxic baby food lawsuit

Update: The federal court cases are dismissed. There is an appeal. See the updates below, which discuss your options moving forward. There is also some hope for optimism based on recent events discussed below.

Twin Pines Ranch in Riverside County was a juvenile detention facility that operated for nearly seven decades before closing in 2014. Thousands of boys between ages 14 and 18 were sent there under the authority of the Riverside County Probation Department. For many, the Ranch was not a place of rehabilitation but a site of sexual abuse and exploitation by staff who were supposed to protect them.

Today, survivors are filing lawsuits against Riverside County and others responsible for the abuse at Twin Pines Ranch. These claims seek compensation and accountability for decades of misconduct and neglect inside one of California’s most notorious “boys ranch” facilities.

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.

A growing number of families are filing lawsuits against Roblox after discovering their children were groomed, exploited, or exposed to explicit content through the platform. Once promoted as a safe space for kids to create and play, Roblox is now at the center of a national legal reckoning. Multiple high-profile cases, including a federal Roblox lawsuit in Texas and an ongoing class action lawsuit against Roblox, allege the company failed to protect minors from foreseeable dangers.

These lawsuits claim Roblox turned a blind eye to predators, unsafe games, and deceptive monetization practices that targeted children. Many victims were contacted through in-game chats and later coerced into private conversations on third-party apps like Discord and Snapchat. Parents who believed their kids were safe online are now asking how to sue Roblox for the lasting harm their children suffered.

This litigation is more than a wave of individual claims. Every Roblox sexual abuse lawsuit is part of a coordinated effort to hold Roblox accountable for enabling child exploitation and misleading the public about platform safety.  In September 2025, Plaintiffs are now seeking a federal MDL lawsuit, which we explain below.  So whether searching for information about joining a Roblox class action, understanding the latest Roblox court cases, or learning how to sue Roblox, this page offers a detailed overview of where we are now and where this litigation.  We also speculate on Roblox settlement amounts at the end of this page.

It is difficult to pick which Los Angeles juvenile hall failed kids the most, but if our lawyers had to choose, it would be Los Padrinos Juvenile Hall. Our lawyers are hearing from more survivors of sexual abuse at Los Padrinos than from any other LA County juvenile detention center. That volume of calls reflects what the lawsuits now make clear: Los Padrinos was one of the worst facilities in the system when it came to protecting children from sexual abuse.

Survivors are filing Los Padrinos juvenile hall lawsuits that seek both accountability and a fair settlement amount.  This page explains how the litigation works, what the expected settlement payouts may look like, and why Los Padrinos has become the focus of so many claims. For victims, these cases are about getting the settlement compensation they more than deserve. But they are also about justice, acknowledgment, and forcing the County to pay for decades of systemic neglect.

There has already been one big sex abuse settlement for Los Padrinos sex abuse victims, and we expect another.  Our attorneys are signing up new victims for a compensation claim from Los Angeles detention centers every day.
