The Cartiva toe implant is a synthetic cartilage device used to treat arthritis in the big toe. New evidence suggests that these implants are defectively designed and prone to failures that can result in pain, further surgery, and other injuries. Cartiva toe implant lawsuits are now being filed by individuals who experienced a premature failure of their implant.

We hoped to see Cartiva settlement payouts by 2025 from a global settlement. That has not happened. Unfortunately, this litigation is dragging on. But these lawsuits could reach a settlement at any time. You want to submit a case before that happens. So, if you have a claim, call us or another lawyer sooner rather than later.

Not many of these lawsuits have been filed. The last Cartiva lawsuit we saw was in December 2024 as we report below.  But there are many more cases out there, and that is likely to change if there is no settlement soon. If you have a potential claim, call us today at 800-553-8082 or get a free consultation online.

Our lawyers are helping victims who want to bring a Gardasil HVP vaccine lawsuit throughout the United States.  Our law firm is particularly focused on ovarian failure cases that lead to infertility in women who have taken Gardasil in the last few years.

Gardasil is a vaccine intended to prevent human papillomavirus (HPV), which can sometimes lead to cervical cancer in women. Gardasil was developed by the embattled pharmaceutical company Merck & Co.

Merck obtained FDA approval for Gardasil in 2006 based on deceptive research and clinical trials that misrepresented the vaccine’s efficacy while concealing its safety risks and side effects. Merck then launched an aggressive and highly misleading marketing campaign to include millions of parents vaccinating their pre-teen daughters with Gardasil.

Our national mass tort lawyers are currently seeking and investigating Wegovy lawsuits for individuals who used Wegovy and subsequently developed gastroparesis or related health conditions.’ This page will look at Wegovy lawsuits and their potential settlement value.

Wegovy (semaglutide) is the brand name of a prescription drug that is used for weight loss and weight management. Wegovy has been around awhile, but recent studies have found that prolonged use of this drug can significantly increase the risk of developing gastroparesis.

Until recently, the drug label for Wegovy did not contain any warning about the potential risk of gastroparesis. This has prompted a wave of product liability lawsuits alleging that the drug maker negligently failed to warn. Anyone who suffered gastroparesis after using Wegovy may be able to file a Wegovy lawsuit and get financial compensation.

On this page, we will look at video game addiction lawsuits involving the popular online game Roblox. We will look at the allegations in these lawsuits, who qualifies to bring one of these cases, and the potential settlement amounts for Roblox addiction and sex abuse lawsuits.

Roblox

Roblox, an online video game platform developed by Roblox Corporation, has become a global phenomenon since its release in 2006. With its expansive virtual worlds and user-generated content, Roblox allows players to create, explore, and socialize in immersive environments. By 2024, the platform had over 217 million monthly active users, with more than half under the age of 13. While it is marketed as a safe and educational tool for children, mounting allegations suggest that Roblox Corporation’s practices exploit its youngest users through addictive design, privacy violations, and deceptive marketing.
