Our lawyers are investigating gambling addiction lawsuits involving DraftKings, FanDuel, BetMGM, Caesars, ESPN Bet, Bet365, Fanatics Sportsbook, Hard Rock Bet, and other online betting platforms.

These lawsuits revolve around the idea that these companies had the data to identify compulsive gambling behavior. Did they use that data to protect gambling addicts? 

No, just the opposite. Instead of slowing vulnerable users down, these defendants saw them as cash cow targets and pushed bonus bets, deposit matches, and anything else they could to keep them addicted and burning money on their betting apps. So the issue at trial is whether the platform used design, data, and marketing to keep a vulnerable user betting when a responsible operator should have stepped in.

Our lawyers are handling Paragard IUD lawsuits for women throughout the United States. These cases allege that the copper IUD can fracture during removal, leaving one or both plastic arms inside the uterus and sometimes forcing the patient to undergo another procedure or surgery.

The federal litigation now includes more than 4,000 filed cases. The first bellwether trial ended in a defense verdict in February 2026. That was a real loss for plaintiffs, and it changed the settlement calculus maybe a bit. But it is just one case, and we can turn it around with a win in September 2026 at the next trial.

So there is no Paragard settlement deal as of September 2026. Our lawyers still believe these claims will eventually be resolved through a negotiated settlement, but the first defense verdict makes it harder to predict when that could happen or what defendants will be willing to pay. We discuss our estimated Paragard settlement values below.

A Los Angeles school sexual abuse case usually begins with the person who committed the abuse. The next step is figuring out what the adults in charge knew (or should have known).

Most predators in a school setting do much of their legwork in plain sight. A teacher or coach who texts students privately, drives them places, often that are not home, or has one-on-one meetings behind a closed door. One principal may have known about a boundary violation while the district office held a separate complaint from another campus.

Sometimes this is innocent. Teachers do take a strong interest in their students and can show signs of being a predator when they are not. So what is a school to do? Pay attention. See what is there to be seen and follow up on it. What our lawyers see way too often in these cases is, “That’s Joe, he is just like that,” without any further review and without taking signs of predator behavior to higher authority.

Uber is defending thousands of sexual assault lawsuits brought by passengers who say they were sexually assaulted by Uber drivers.  Plaintiffs are asking what Uber knew about the risk of sexual assault, how it screened drivers, what happened when complaints came in, and whether the company could have done more to keep dangerous drivers off the platform. In the most recent $8.5 million verdict, jurors confirmed what we have been saying all along.

Federal cases have been consolidated in In re: Uber Technologies Inc., Passenger Sexual Assault Litigation, MDL No. 3084, in the Northern District of California. In an MDL, each survivor still has her own lawsuit and her own damages.

By September 2026, more than 3,000 cases were pending in the federal MDL, with additional claims proceeding in California state court. The next trial is October 7, 2026.

This page looks at sex abuse lawsuits involving juvenile inmates at the Illinois Youth Center St. Charles (IYC St. Charles).

Like many other juvenile detention facilities in Illinois, lawsuits allege that sexual abuse and mistreatment of juvenile inmates has been rampant at IYC St. Charles for decades. The Illinois Department of Juvenile Justice (IDJJ) negligently failed to protect juvenile inmates at IYC St. Charles, according to these lawsuits. As a result, victims are now filing civil claims against the state and IDJJ.

Maryland workers’ compensation law provides compensation and medical benefits for workplace injuries. Our lawyers fight to help injured workers recover as much as Maryland law will allow. Our Baltimore workers’ comp lawyers handle claims throughout Maryland. If you do not live close to Baltimore, you do not need to travel to our law firm.

Workers’ compensation is supposed to be straightforward. You get hurt at work. You report the injury. You get medical care. You receive wage benefits if you cannot work. But anyone who has dealt with a real workers’ comp claim knows the system can turn ugly fast. The insurance company may deny the claim, argue your injury is preexisting, refuse to authorize treatment, send you to an independent medical evaluation, or push you back to work before you are physically ready.

Except in certain limited instances, these benefits are the “exclusive remedy” available to injured workers. This means victims of workplace injuries usually cannot file a civil lawsuit against their employer for their injuries. But they can file a civil lawsuit against other parties responsible for their injuries.

This page will look at civil lawsuits involving the sexual abuse of juvenile inmates at the Illinois Youth Center Chicago (IYC Chicago). Over the last two decades since the facility has been in operation, IYC Chicago inmates have alleged that they were victims of sexual abuse and assault by both staff and other inmates. Lawsuits now allege that the Illinois Department of Juvenile Justice negligently allowed this abuse to occur and should be held accountable in civil claims brought by former inmates.

If you have a potential sex abuse lawsuit against IYC Chicago, call our Illinois sex abuse lawyers today at 800-553-8082 or get a free online consultation. Our attorneys will fight to get you the overdue compensation that you deserve.

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 your abuser and, in many cases, against a school, hospital, church, company, government agency, or other organization that may share responsibility for what happened.

In this post, our lawyers provide an overview of sexual abuse lawsuits in Virginia. We cover Virginia’s statute of limitations for sex abuse civil cases, recent lawsuits and settlements, and the potential settlement value of these cases. Virginia changed its statute of limitations law again in 2026, which is important for some childhood sexual abuse claims and makes an already confusing deadline analysis even more complicated.
