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.

Abbott Spinal Cord Stimulator Lawsuit (2026): MDL 3194

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

Abbott spinal cord stimulator lawsuits are being filed by patients who say devices intended to relieve their chronic pain instead caused electrical shocks, burning sensations, worsening pain, neurological injuries, and additional surgery. Some patients say their stimulators failed after repeated reprogramming attempts. Others allege that the leads moved, that the system stopped delivering treatment, or that Abbott representatives became more involved in their medical care than they should have, putting Abbott’s interests ahead of the patients’ well-being.

That paragraph is a nutshell of what this litigation is about. The number of filed cases is low right now, but our lawyers believe this litigation will eventually involve thousands of claims. We are getting a lot of calls in these cases, and lawyers we work with are also reporting that they are developing huge inventories of these cases.

On October 2, 2026, the federal judicial panel created MDL No. 3194 to coordinate related Abbott cases for pretrial proceedings in the Northern District of Illinois. The cases are assigned to U.S. District Judge Lindsay C. Jenkins.

Roblox Child Sexual Abuse Lawsuit

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

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

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.

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.

School Sexual Abuse Lawsuit Settlements

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

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.
