Rhode Island Clergy Sexual Abuse Lawsuits

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

Our lawyers are reviewing Rhode Island child sexual abuse lawsuits against the Roman Catholic Church, including claims involving the Diocese of Providence, Catholic parishes, Catholic schools, religious orders, priests, deacons, brothers, nuns, parish workers, and other Church-connected adults.

These claims are not just about what an individual abuser did. The real question is whether the Diocese, a parish, a school, a religious order, or Church leadership knew enough to stop the abuse, warn families, remove the abuser, report to police, or protect children, and failed to do so.

Rhode Island has now opened a two-year revival window for Rhode Island childhood sexual abuse claims that were previously blocked by old filing deadlines. This is a major development for survivors of Catholic clergy abuse in Rhode Island. The window was opened after years of survivor advocacy, the Rhode Island Supreme Court’s decision in Houllahan v. Gelineau, and the 2026 Rhode Island Attorney General report on the Diocese of Providence.

California Birth Injury Lawsuits

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

California birth injury lawsuits are about holding doctors, nurses, hospitals, urgent care clinics, OB practices, and other health care providers accountable when preventable medical mistakes cause real harm to the child during the labor and delivery process. But the most devastating California malpractice cases our lawyers see are birth injury lawsuits. Birth injury cases are different. A missed diagnosis in an adult case can ruin a life. A negligent delivery can ruin the life of a child before that child ever gets a fair start. It can also change the parents’ lives forever.

These are the cases where the parents walk into the hospital expecting one of the happiest days of their lives, and they leave with a baby who has brain damage, seizures, cerebral palsy, a brachial plexus injury, or a lifetime need for medical care. That is hard to write. But it is the truth.

California birth injury lawsuits often focus on whether doctors and nurses failed to recognize fetal distress, delayed a C-section, mismanaged Pitocin, ignored abnormal fetal heart tracings, mishandled shoulder dystocia, failed to treat maternal infection, failed to respond to placental abruption, or failed to properly resuscitate the baby after delivery.

Oxbryta Lawsuit Settlement

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

For sickle cell patients and families, Oxbryta was supposed to be a lifeline. Instead, it left many worse off–facing new health crises, hospitalizations, and in some cases, unthinkable loss. Now, Oxbryta lawsuits are uncovering what Pfizer knew and when it knew it.

Oxbryta is a prescription drug developed by Global Blood Therapeutics and later acquired by Pfizer. It was voluntarily recalled in September 2024 after new evidence revealed that it caused serious and potentially fatal complications, including vaso-occlusive crises and organ damage.

This page looks at Oxbryta lawsuits and their potential settlement value.

Oxbryta is a prescription drug made by Pfizer that was recalled in September 2024 after evidence revealed that it caused a number of very serious and potentially fatal health problems, including vaso-occlusive crisis and organ damage. Continue reading

Maine Injury Settlements and Verdicts (and law)

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

Ten years ago, I posted data showing the average personal injury verdict in Maine was approximately $27,000. These numbers do not tend to change much historically. So my guess is the average personal injury settlement in Maine is between $25,000 and $40,000.

But you have to understand how useless that is if you have a personal injury claim in Maine and you are trying to calculate or predict your settlement compensation payout.

Sample settlements and verdicts are not necessarily much better at projecting settlement amounts. But these are weapons you can use to better understand potential settlement compensation for an injury case in Maine.

Grok AI Deepfake Lawsuit

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

Artificial intelligence has changed how people create, edit, and distribute images. But it has also opened a dangerous new frontier for exploitation and abuse. One of the most alarming developments is the rise of AI-generated sexual deepfakes: fake images or videos that can make it appear as though a real person was nude, sexualized, or involved in conduct that never happened.

The Grok deepfake lawsuit is one of the clearest early tests of whether AI companies can be held legally responsible when their tools generate or enable nonconsensual sexual images. These claims are not just about bad users. They are about product design, warnings, safeguards, profit, notice, and whether a company can release a powerful image-generation tool into the world and then blame victims when the predictable abuse occurs.

If your image, your child’s image, or someone you love was used in an AI-generated sexual deepfake, treat it like evidence in a serious civil case. Because it is. Screenshots help, but URLs, account names, timestamps, takedown requests, medical records, school records, employment records, and platform responses can all help. You do not need every piece of evidence to call, but the more we can preserve, the stronger the case may be.

Rhode Island Sex Abuse Lawsuits

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

This page is about Rhode Island sexual abuse lawsuits. Our lawyers examine how Rhode Island law defines sexual abuse and assault and when victims of sex abuse can file civil lawsuits and get compensation. We will also analyze the potential settlement for sex abuse lawsuits in Rhode Island.

2026 Update #1: Rhode Island Opens Sexual Abuse Revival Window

Rhode Island has now opened a two-year revival window for civil childhood sexual abuse lawsuits. Governor Dan McKee signed the legislation on June 11, 2026, and the window runs from July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2028. This is the most important Rhode Island sex abuse statute of limitations development in years because it gives survivors with previously expired claims a new opportunity to sue not only perpetrators, but also institutions and supervisors accused of enabling, concealing, failing to report, or negligently supervising the abuse.

Video Game Addiction Lawsuit Settlements

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

Video game addiction lawsuits are gaining momentum as families and individuals come forward to seek accountability from gaming companies for the harm caused by gaming addiction. These cases focus on holding video game manufacturers accountable for exploiting vulnerable players, particularly minors and young adults, through intentionally addictive game designs.

Gaming addiction has caused significant harm, including mental health struggles, social isolation, sleep disruption, academic decline, financial strain, and family conflict. The lawsuits allege that gaming companies prioritized profit over user safety by designing games to keep children and young adults playing longer, spending more money, and returning even when the games were harming them.

Our attorneys examine the rise of video game addiction lawsuits and key allegations such as failure to warn and intentional design defects that make games like Fortnite, Roblox, Minecraft, Call of Duty, Grand Theft Auto, Apex Legends, Madden, FIFA, and other online games so addictive.

Average Pennsylvania Personal Injury Settlements and Verdicts

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

The post is about the settlement compensation payouts you can expect in Pennsylvania.

A recent study of jury verdicts found that the average personal injury jury verdict in Pennsylvania is $903,705.00.

Now let’s turn the kaleidoscope and look at the median. If you remember from the 9th grade, the median is found by ranking the data from biggest to smallest and then identifying the middle of the data so that there is an equal number that is larger and smaller on each side. If you had 1001 data points, the 500th biggest number would be in the middle.

For many data groups, the gap between the average and the median is the same or very close to it. With personal injury verdicts, they are usually light-years apart. This is reflected in this new study that just came out in Pennsylvania. The median compensatory award in Pennsylvania in the study was $45,000.00
