Hand, Wrist, and Finger Injury Settlement Amounts

Hand, wrist, and finger injuries are often undervalued by insurance companies because the body part is small. That is a mistake. A serious hand injury can change how you work, drive, cook, write, type, lift, dress, bathe, hold tools, or care for your family.

This page explains settlement amounts for hand, wrist, and finger injuries in car accidents, falls, workplace accidents, dog bites, premises liability claims, and other injury cases. We also look at verdicts and settlements to show what pushes these claims up or down in value.

Our attorneys also summarize recent verdicts and reported settlements from prior cases in which the plaintiff’s primary injury was a hand, wrist, or finger injury so that you can get a feel for jury payouts and settlement amounts in hand and wrist injury lawsuits.

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 people arrive here with a practical question in mind: what do spinal cord stimulator settlement amounts look like, and how does compensation get calculated when a device causes lasting harm? That question cannot be answered in isolation. Settlement amounts and payouts are driven by the full medical timeline, including the cost of repeat surgeries, explantation, permanent loss of function, and the downstream consequences when a pain-management device leaves someone worse off than before it was implanted.

Social Media Addiction Lawsuit

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

This page is about social media addiction lawsuits and who is eligible to bring a claim. Our lawyers also provide the latest news on social media class action lawsuits (including the ongoing trial in California).

The problem that led to social media lawsuits is that millions of people, too many of whom are children, are addicted to social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, and others. For these vulnerable users, social media addiction can be very harmful and lead to things like eating disorders, depression, and, in some cases, suicide.

Now, these companies are facing a wave of new social media lawsuits alleging that they knowingly designed the algorithms of their platforms to lure young people into harmful addictions.

Forceps Birth Injury Malpractice Lawyer

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

Obstetric forceps are a delivery tool doctors use during difficult vaginal births. In the right hands, and in the right situation, forceps can help deliver a baby quickly. No one is saying that forceps should never be used. But when forceps are used carelessly, too late, too aggressively, or when a C-section was the safer choice, the result can be devastating. A few minutes of bad judgment in the delivery room can leave a child with a permanent brain injury, skull fracture, nerve damage, facial trauma, or lifelong disability.

Forceps are not a routine shortcut. They are high-risk instruments that require skill, judgment, and discipline. When a doctor applies the blades incorrectly, pulls too hard, twists the baby, ignores fetal distress, or keeps trying after the delivery is clearly not working, that is not just a bad outcome. That is medical malpractice.

This page explains forceps birth injury lawsuits, how these cases work, what makes forceps use negligent, how settlement value is evaluated, and what recent verdicts and settlements tell us about compensation in forceps malpractice claims.

Wisconsin Personal Injury Verdicts and Settlements

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

If you have a personal injury case in Wisconsin, it is natural to speculate on how much money you might get out of it. That is true whether your case involves a car accident, truck accident, slip and fall, dog bite, medical malpractice, nursing home injury, sexual abuse, defective product, or wrongful death.

But looking at average settlement and verdict data can be misleading because each individual case is unique. The best way to get an idea of what type of payout you can possibly expect is to look at compensation awarded in prior cases with similar facts.

Does that give you the exact answer? Of course not. You can have what appear to be two identical cases and get very different outcomes. A case with a fractured leg in Milwaukee may settle differently from a similar fractured leg case in a rural county. A case with $100,000 in medical bills may be worth far more if liability is clear and the defendant has a large commercial insurance policy. The same injury may be worth less if the jury thinks the plaintiff is partly at fault or exaggerating symptoms.

Roblox Child Sex Abuse Lawsuit

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

A growing number of families are suing Roblox after learning their children were groomed, exploited, or exposed to sexually explicit content through the platform. Roblox spent years branding itself as a safe, kid-focused place to create and play. These lawsuits say that the promise did not match reality, and too many children have been exploited as a result.

Several high-profile cases, including federal lawsuits filed around the country and consumer class action claims over marketing and monetization practices, allege that Roblox failed to protect minors from foreseeable risks. In federal court, most of the child exploitation and grooming 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.

The core allegations are straightforward. Families claim Roblox allowed predators and explicit content to circulate, failed to enforce meaningful safety barriers, and profited from design choices that kept kids engaged while leaving them vulnerable. Many complaints describe the same pattern: predators initiate contact through in-game chat or messaging, build trust, and then push children to move conversations to third-party apps like Discord or Snapchat, where monitoring is weaker, and the harm escalates.

California Institute for Women Sex Abuse Lawsuits

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

The California Institution for Women, usually called CIW, is the state’s oldest women’s prison and one of its most troubled. Located in the Chino area of San Bernardino County and operated by the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, CIW has long been associated with overcrowding, inadequate medical care, and repeated allegations of sexual abuse by staff.

This page will look at civil lawsuits for sexual abuse of female prisoners at the California Institution for Women in Chino. Inmates at CIW have been subjected to alleged sexual abuse at the hands of correctional officers through threats and coercion. Many inmates have also alleged sexual abuse by the prison OB-GYN during medical exams.

In recent years, former inmates have come forward describing sexual assault by correctional officers and predatory conduct during medical exams, including CIW’s longtime OB-GYN, Dr. Scott Lee. Those revelations have led to civil sexual assault lawsuits, a federal investigation, and renewed scrutiny of how California prisons protect the women in their custody.
