Uber Sexual Assault Lawsuits

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 October 2026, 4,916 cases were pending in the federal MDL, with additional claims proceeding in California state court. A trial set for October 7, 2026, was settled just before trial. Another trials will be scheduled soon.

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.

New York Sex Abuse Lawsuits and Settlements

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

Victims of sexual abuse or assault, either as a child or an adult, have the right to bring a civil lawsuit against both their abuser and any school, company, or organization that might be liable for the abuse.

For decades, schools, churches, and treatment centers have used a playbook to silence victims, destroying records, intimidating survivors, and using legal loopholes to dodge responsibility. But courts are catching up, and new laws in New York are forcing these institutions to pay for the harm they caused.

In this post, we will provide a brief overview of sexual abuse lawsuits in New York. We will explain the applicable statute of limitations for sex abuse civil cases in New York and how settlement amounts are calculated in these cases.

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.

Call of Duty Video Game Addiction Lawsuit

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

On this page, our national mass tort lawyers look at Call of Duty video game addiction lawsuits. We look at the features of Call of Duty that plaintiffs allege are intended to make the game highly addictive, Activision’s alleged failure to warn about the addictive nature of the game, the harmful effects of video game addiction, and the potential settlement value of these cases.

The battlefield of these cases is whether Activision and the developers of Call of Duty designed and marketed a product that can cause foreseeable harm to minors and young adults, and whether they failed to warn families about that risk.

We believe it did. Our lawyers contend that Call of Duty addiction lawsuits are product liability cases involving a defective product. We allege the game was engineered with reward loops, progression systems, microtransactions, battle passes, social pressure, and endless online competition that can push vulnerable users into compulsive play.

Kern County Juvenile Hall Sex Abuse Lawsuit

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

On this page, our national sex abuse lawyers explain what survivors of abuse at Kern County Juvenile Hall need to know about lawsuits, settlement amounts, and potential compensation. Kern County Juvenile Hall, officially known as James G. Bowles Juvenile Hall, is a juvenile detention facility in Bakersfield operated by the Kern County Probation Department.

Former detainees have accused correctional officers at the facility of sexual abuse and misconduct, and survivors have pursued civil lawsuits against Kern County for failing to protect children in its custody.

Our lawyers believe the settlement amounts in serious Kern County Juvenile Hall sex abuse cases could be substantial. Los Angeles County recently agreed to pay more than $4 billion to resolve juvenile hall sex abuse claims, with average payouts approaching $600,000 per survivor. Kern County cases will be evaluated on their own facts, but the Los Angeles settlement provides an important benchmark for institutional abuse claims across California.

Philadelphia Sexual Abuse Lawsuits and Lawyers

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

Our lawyers are reviewing Philadelphia sex abuse lawsuits involving schools, churches, juvenile detention facilities, residential programs, youth organizations, public institutions, and other organizations that failed to protect children or vulnerable adults from sexual abuse.

In this post, we will look at Philadelphia sex abuse lawsuits. We will explain how sex abuse claims work under Pennsylvania law, who may be held responsible, how the filing deadline works, and what compensation may be available. We will also look at Philadelphia schools, churches, detention facilities, and other institutions that have faced sexual abuse claims.

If the abuse happened years ago, do not assume that you are automatically out of time. Pennsylvania has changed its statute of limitations for sexual abuse claims more than once, and whether an older claim is still viable can depend on the victim’s age, when the abuse occurred, and whether the claim had already expired when the law changed.
