Spinal Cord Stimulator Lawsuit

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 there is an ultimate settlement. Settlement amounts and payouts in these cases will depend on several factors, which we dig into more fully below.

Suboxone Tooth Decay Lawsuit Update

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

This page explains the Suboxone tooth decay lawsuits, the dental injuries linked to Suboxone film, and where the federal MDL stands in 2026.

The core claim in the Suboxone litigation is straightforward: plaintiffs allege that Indivior and related defendants knew, or should have known, that Suboxone film could cause severe dental damage, including tooth decay, enamel erosion, broken teeth, tooth loss, and expensive dental reconstruction. Plaintiffs contend the companies failed to warn patients and prescribing doctors until the FDA forced a dental warning in 2022.

Benzene Lawsuits and Acute Myeloid Leukemia

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

You may be here because you or someone in your family has been diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or another blood cancer after years of benzene exposure. Benzene lawsuits most often focus on AML and related blood cancers linked to workplace or product exposure. These conditions are devastating on their own. When they are tied to a toxic chemical like benzene, the frustration is even greater.

Benzene has been tied to cancer for decades. The research is clear. Workers have brought benzene exposure lawsuits across the country, and juries have awarded significant verdicts in many cases. Families have negotiated benzene lawsuit settlements after showing that their exposure on the job or in the community caused leukemia, multiple myeloma, or other blood-related diseases.

If you are considering a benzene lawsuit, you are likely wondering how the process works, whether your case qualifies, and what kind of compensation is possible. The answers are specific to your situation, but the starting point is always the same: understanding how exposure happens and how the law allows victims to bring claims.

Gabapentin Dementia Lawsuit

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

Gabapentin lawsuits are now being investigated because new research has raised concerns that long-term or repeated gabapentin use is linked to dementia, mild cognitive impairment, memory loss, confusion, and other cognitive problems.

These cases are still developing, and we are in the early rounds of this. There is no nationwide gabapentin dementia class action lawsuit or MDL and there have not been any settlements. In fact, we are unaware of a single lawsuit filed in the U.S. alleging Gabapentin causes these injuries. But the science is advancing quickly, and the deeper our lawyers dig into these cases, the more we believe in them.

If you are reading this and are not a patient on Gabapentin, let’s talk briefly about what it is. Gabapentin is one of the most commonly prescribed medications in the United States. It is sold under the brand name Neurontin and is also available as a generic. Doctors prescribe Neurontin for seizures, shingles-related nerve pain, and a long list of off-label conditions, including back pain, neuropathy, anxiety, migraines, fibromyalgia, sleep problems, and other chronic pain complaints.

Chowchilla Women’s Prison Sex Abuse Lawsuit

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

Survivors of the Central California Women’s Facility (or Chowchilla Women’s Prison) have filed civil lawsuits alleging pervasive sexual abuse by correctional staff, detailing coercion, unwanted physical contact, and retaliation for reporting misconduct.

These claims underpin a growing wave of litigation seeking to hold the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) accountable and get much-deserved settlement compensation for victims. What we have learned about Chowchilla is that there was a stark pattern of institutional neglect on many levels. Male guards were sexually assaulting women, and administrators turned a blind eye.

There have been no mass settlements of the Chowchilla sexual assault lawsuit. But our lawyers believe in these cases and, while nothing is guaranteed, we think this Chowchilla Women’s Prison lawsuit could result in one of the largest prison-related abuse settlements in U.S. history.

Olympus Scope Lawsuit

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

Between 2013 and 2024, contaminated Olympus duodenoscopes infected hundreds of patients at hospitals across the United States. At least 35 people died from these medical scopes.

What happened? These awful infections were caused by dangerous, drug-resistant bacteria that were extremely difficult to treat.

So you had patients who went to the hospital, often getting diagnostic or therapeutic procedures that they did not think would be a big deal, only to come out with infections that damaged organs, required months of intensive care, or, tragically, proved fatal.

Gambling Addiction Lawsuits

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

Our lawyers are primarily investigating gambling addiction lawsuits involving DraftKings and FanDuel.

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 or did they use this information to target them?

No, just the opposite. Instead of slowing vulnerable users down, DraftKings, FanDuel, and other defendants allegedly 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.

Vaginal Mesh Lawsuit

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

Women are still filing vaginal mesh lawsuits and bladder sling lawsuits in 2026, but this is no longer the enormous federal mass tort it was a decade ago. The old federal MDLs have closed. Most legacy claims have been resolved, and the remaining litigation is concentrated in individual cases and state-court dockets, including active Johnson & Johnson and Ethicon pelvic mesh cases in New Jersey.

A viable case now depends less on the history of the prior litigation and more on specific evidence: the manufacturer and product, the date of implantation, mesh erosion or another documented complication, revision surgery, and medical evidence linking the implant to the injury. Our lawyers are currently focused on selected claims involving products from Johnson & Johnson/Ethicon and Coloplast. We are not accepting new Boston Scientific mesh claims.

Bard PowerPort Lawsuit

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

Bard PowerPort lawsuits allege that defects in implanted port catheters can cause fractures, migration, blood clots, infections, embolisms, and other serious complications. Thousands of product liability lawsuits are now pending against Bard and its parent company, Becton Dickinson, in a federal multidistrict litigation in Arizona. After a long slog, these cases are now moving forward.

The first bellwether trial ended with a partial defense verdict and a deadlocked jury on the central design defect claim. The most recent trial, Divelbliss v. C.R. Bard, led to a $40 million verdict. It involved an alleged fracture of a silicone Groshong catheter. Five bellwether trials are now expected to run through February 2027. Our lawyers remain bullish on well-documented fracture, migration, and embolization cases.

This page provides the latest Bard PowerPort lawsuit updates, projected settlement amounts, and information about who may qualify to file a claim.

School Sexual Abuse Lawsuits

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.
