Virginia Sex Abuse Lawsuits

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.

Illinois Malpractice Settlement Amounts and Law

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

This page is about Illinois medical malpractice lawsuits, how they work, and the settlement amounts and jury payouts victims see.

Sample settlements and verdicts are useful tools, alongside other resources, to help victims understand the range of values in a medical malpractice case. Clearly, no two cases are the same, and you cannot summarize a case in a paragraph.

Sometimes, I have tried or settled cases where there was no way to summarize the case in a way that would explain why the plaintiff won or why the verdict was as high or low as it was. Said differently, reading these is important and educational in understanding the value of medical malpractice claims in Illinois, but you can only learn so much from these.

Foster Care Sex Abuse Lawsuits

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

When the state removes children from their parents or guardians and places them in foster care, the state assumes significant responsibility for keeping those children safe. If a child is sexually abused because of a dangerous foster placement, ignored warning signs, or a failure to respond to reports of abuse, the child may have legal claims against the state, a private foster care agency, or both.

Foster care sex abuse lawsuits are now being filed across the country. On this page, our national sex abuse lawyers look at the basics of foster care sexual abuse lawsuits and their potential settlement payout value.

Our foster care sexual abuse lawyers represent victims across the country. If you have a foster care sex abuse case, contact us at 800-553-8082 or contact us online.

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.

Illinois Birth Injury Malpractice Law

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

This page will review Illinois medical malpractice cases involving birth injuries. We will explain some relevant Illinois laws, review how birth injury lawsuits work in Illinois, and discuss the expected settlement amounts in Illinois birth injury lawsuits.

How to Project Illinois Birth Injury Settlement Amounts

One of the hardest things a birth injury lawyer must do is project settlement amounts for a family’s lawsuit. But you need to know what a settlement amount should be to advise the client on their settlement options. Determining the settlement amount in a birth injury lawsuit can be a challenging task for attorneys, as many factors can affect the final settlement amount. Birth injury cases can be particularly complex, and the amount of damages awarded can vary widely depending on the specific circumstances of the case.

California School Sexual Abuse Lawsuits

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

With its new statute of limitations, California has become an epicenter for school sexual abuse lawsuits. A large percentage of landmark school sex abuse settlements are coming from California.

If you were sexually abused by a teacher, coach, counselor, administrator, volunteer, contractor, or another student, you may have a civil claim against not only the predator who abused you, but the school and other organizations.

So many victims do not bring claims because they think the bar is higher than it is. The biggest impediment we see is the assumption that you needed to report the crime at the time or even get a criminal conviction. Nothing could be further from the truth. You could still have a case if the sexual abuse was never reported to police, prosecutors declined to file charges, or the school insisted that it could not substantiate your complaint.
