Illinois Birth Injury Malpractice Law

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

This page will review Illinois medical malpractice cases involving birth injuries. We will explain some relevant Illinois laws, review how birth injury lawsuits work in Illinois, and discuss the expected settlement amounts in Illinois birth injury lawsuits.

How to Project Illinois Birth Injury Settlement Amounts

One of the hardest things a birth injury lawyer must do is project settlement amounts for a family’s lawsuit. But you need to know what a settlement amount should be to advise the client on their settlement options. Determining the settlement amount in a birth injury lawsuit can be a challenging task for attorneys, as many factors can affect the final settlement amount. Birth injury cases can be particularly complex, and the amount of damages awarded can vary widely depending on the specific circumstances of the case.

California School Sexual Abuse Lawsuits

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

With its new statute of limitations, California has become an epicenter for school sexual abuse lawsuits. A large percentage of landmark school sex abuse settlements are coming from California.

If you were sexually abused by a teacher, coach, counselor, administrator, volunteer, contractor, or another student, you may have a civil claim against not only the predator who abused you, but the school and other organizations.

So many victims do not bring claims because they think the bar is higher than it is. The biggest impediment we see is the assumption that you needed to report the crime at the time or even get a criminal conviction. Nothing could be further from the truth. You could still have a case if the sexual abuse was never reported to police, prosecutors declined to file charges, or the school insisted that it could not substantiate your complaint.

Connecticut Sexual Abuse Lawsuits

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

If you were the victim of sexual abuse or assault, either as a child or an adult, you may have the right to bring a civil lawsuit against the person who abused you and, in many cases, a school, church, company, treatment center, government agency, or other organization that failed to protect you.

That second part is where the real civil case is.

The abuser is responsible for the abuse. No question. But what did the adults around that person know? Were there earlier complaints? Did a school quietly move an employee instead of investigating? Did DCF have information that should have triggered intervention? Did an organization put its reputation ahead of the child it was supposed to protect?

San Diego Juvenile Hall Sex Abuse Lawsuits

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

This page looks at civil lawsuits for victims of sexual abuse at San Diego juvenile detention centers.

San Diego juvenile halls are at the center of a troubling investigation into allegations of sexual abuse and misconduct against minors who were detained at the facility. Survivors have come forward with reports of sexual exploitation, misconduct by staff members, and a pervasive culture of sexual abuse that was allegedly ignored or covered up by those in power. These allegations are part of a larger pattern of sexual abuse within the juvenile justice system, where vulnerable youth are too often subjected to harm by the very individuals entrusted with their care.

We think San Diego will be the next California juvenile hall sex abuse settlement domino to fall. Our lawyers talk about this, and the San Diego juvenile hall settlement amounts we expect to see in these lawsuits, below.

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.

Suboxone Tooth Decay Lawsuit Update

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

This page explains the Suboxone tooth decay lawsuits, the dental injuries linked to Suboxone film, and where the federal MDL stands in 2026.

The core claim in the Suboxone litigation is straightforward: plaintiffs allege that Indivior and related defendants knew, or should have known, that Suboxone film could cause severe dental damage, including tooth decay, enamel erosion, broken teeth, tooth loss, and expensive dental reconstruction. Plaintiffs contend the companies failed to warn patients and prescribing doctors until the FDA forced a dental warning in 2022.

Our firm is not accepting new Suboxone cases in 2026. This page is provided for litigation updates and general information for victims and their families

Truvada Lawsuit

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

This page is about Truvada lawsuits and other HIV drug injury lawsuits involving kidney or bone injuries.

HIV drugs containing tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) are, we believe, putting patients at risk. This has resulted in HIV drug lawsuits from victims alleging kidney disease and failure, bone density loss, bone injuries, and other side effects.

Viread® and Truvada® are two of the first brand-name drugs developed by Gilead Sciences to treat HIV. Viread and Truvada both use tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF), a new type of antiviral drug that was one of the first effective treatments for slowing HIV.

Bone Fracture Birth Injury Lawsuit

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

A broken bone discovered after childbirth does not automatically mean that the obstetric team committed malpractice. Clavicle, humerus, femur, and skull fractures can occur during a genuinely difficult delivery even when doctors and nurses respond appropriately. The legal question is how the fracture happened, whether the team used excessive force or misused an instrument, and whether a different response would probably have prevented the injury.

Most isolated newborn fractures heal well. The cases with the greatest medical and settlement consequences usually involve an associated brachial plexus injury, intracranial bleeding, brain damage, delayed diagnosis, permanent weakness, or developmental impairment. Parents need an honest assessment that separates a temporary fracture from the larger injury sometimes hidden behind it.

Our birth injury lawyers review cases involving fractures caused by shoulder dystocia, difficult extraction, forceps, vacuum devices, breech delivery, and delayed cesarean delivery. Call 800-553-8082 or contact us online for a free consultation.

Apartment Negligent Security Lawsuits

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

An apartment shooting, rape, or assault becomes a negligent security case when the property owner or another responsible company had reason to anticipate the danger and failed to take reasonable precautions that could have prevented it. These lawsuits rarely involve minor harm. Our lawyers usually see death, paralysis, gunshot wounds, sexual assault, and severe psychological injuries.

Our lawyers bring negligent security apartment complex lawsuits around the country. The basic claim is straightforward. A landlord invited people to live on the property, collected rent, controlled the common areas, and failed to respond to a serious security risk. Proving that claim requires much more than showing that a crime happened on the premises.

If you have a potential negligent security lawsuit against an apartment complex or condominium association, call us at 800-553-8082 or contact us online for a free consultation.
