We have also recently reopened the comments below to answer any questions you may have or simply give you a chance to share your thoughts.
Chlorpyrifos lawsuits allege that repeated exposure to this widely used insecticide can contribute to Parkinson’s disease. The people most likely to bring these claims are farmers, pesticide applicators, pest control workers, groundskeepers, greenhouse employees, and others who personally mixed, loaded, sprayed, or cleaned up chlorpyrifos products over months or years.
Chlorpyrifos was sold under trade names that include Dursban, Lorsban, Cobalt, Nufos, Bolton, Stallion, Pilot, Warhawk, and Hatchet. It was used on farms, golf courses, ornamental plants, and residential and commercial properties. Many workers remember the trade name but not the active ingredient. Product identification is therefore one of the first and most important parts of investigating a claim.

The California Institution for Women, 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.
Victims of sexual abuse or sexual assault are bringing civil lawsuits in California and getting significant settlements. Thanks to new changes in California law, it is now much easier for sex abuse victims to access the civil courts.
In this post, we will examine the process and laws related to sex abuse lawsuits in California. We will also examine the average settlement amounts of these cases and provide examples of settlements and jury payouts.

Our lawyers are handling baby powder lawsuits in all 50 states in 2026. The talcum powder lawsuits against Johnson & Johnson have been ongoing for years. The lawsuits allege that prolonged use of talcum powder (or “talc”), the active ingredient in products such as Baby Powder and Shower to Shower, can cause ovarian cancer in some women.
This page provides an update on J&J talc powder litigation and discusses the settlement amounts in ovarian cancer lawsuits for victims.
This page is for women considering filing a Depo-Provera lawsuit. Our lawyers provide the latest updates, explain the litigation and settlement process, and offer our assessment of potential Depo-Provera settlement amounts.
Scientific research has found a strong association between prolonged use of injectable medroxyprogesterone acetate, the active drug in Depo-Provera, and intracranial meningioma. Women who received Depo-Provera injections and were later diagnosed with a meningioma are filing lawsuits alleging that Pfizer and related companies failed to provide an adequate warning.
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 April 2027 at the next trial.
So there is no Paragard settlement deal as of October 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 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.
