Apartment Negligent Security Lawsuits

An apartment shooting, rape, or assault becomes a negligent security case when the property owner or another responsible company had reason to anticipate the danger and failed to take reasonable precautions that could have prevented it. These lawsuits rarely involve minor harm. Our lawyers usually see death, paralysis, gunshot wounds, sexual assault, and severe psychological injuries.

Our lawyers bring negligent security apartment complex lawsuits around the country. The basic claim is straightforward. A landlord invited people to live on the property, collected rent, controlled the common areas, and failed to respond to a serious security risk. Proving that claim requires much more than showing that a crime happened on the premises.

If you have a potential negligent security lawsuit against an apartment complex or condominium association, call us at 800-553-8082 or contact us online for a free consultation.

Minecraft Addiction Lawsuit

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

On this page, our national mass tort lawyers look at Minecraft addiction lawsuits. These lawsuits allege that Minecraft, Microsoft, and Mojang used game design features that can cause compulsive play in minors and young adults, failed to warn families about the risk of gaming addiction, and failed to include stronger safeguards to protect children.

This is not a review of Minecraft. We are not here to decide whether Minecraft is creative, educational, or fun. Minecraft can look harmless, almost like digital Lego. But the legal question is what happens when an open-ended game with no real finish line becomes the center of a child’s life?

Our lawyers contend that Minecraft addiction lawsuits are meritorious product liability lawsuits. The claim is that Minecraft was designed and sold in a way that can push vulnerable players toward compulsive play, withdrawal symptoms, rage when access is restricted, anxiety, depression, sleep disruption, social isolation, falling grades, and physical injuries from excessive gaming.

Pressure Cooker Injury Lawsuits

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

Many brands of electric pressure cookers have dangerous design flaws that can cause the device to malfunction and eject boiling liquid, leading to severe burns and disfigurement.

Our national product liability lawyers are actively seeking new cases from individuals who have been seriously burned or injured by a defective pressure cooker. If you have been harmed by an instant pressure cooker, you may be entitled to financial compensation. Contact a pressure cooker lawyer today to determine whether you can file a lawsuit for the injuries you have suffered.

These cases are not about a harmless kitchen accident. A pressure cooker that opens while still pressurized can spray scalding liquid across a kitchen in seconds. Victims suffer second-degree burns, third-degree burns, facial burns, eye injuries, nerve damage, scarring, skin grafts, and permanent disfigurement. That is why pressure cooker burn lawsuits can have significant settlement value.

Taxotere Eye Injury Lawsuit

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

Our lawyers are handling Taxotere eye injury lawsuits throughout the United States for women with permanently watery eyes from docetaxel.

Taxotere (docetaxel) is a widely used breast cancer chemotherapy drug. New evidence has emerged showing that Taxotere may be causing some users to suffer permanent vision loss or damage.

This has led to a wave of product liability Taxotere lawsuits by women who claim that Taxotere damaged their eyesight. The manufacturer of Taxotere, Sanofi, allegedly knew about the risk of vision damage but chose not to warn doctors or patients about this risk.

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.

Talc Powder Ovarian Cancer Lawsuit

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

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.

Has the deadline passed for you to file a talcum powder lawsuit? Many who assume the statute of limitations has passed to sue Johnson & Johnson may be wrong. Call us today at 800-553-8082 or get a free and quick case review online.

California Personal Injury Settlements

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

This page looks at settlement payouts and jury awards in personal injury cases in California. We provide statistics on reported settlements and jury verdicts, as well as factual summaries of recent cases resulting in payouts.

We also provide an overview of key personal injury laws in California, including the statute of limitations for injury claims, medical malpractice rules, comparative fault, and limits on damages.

Historical research published by Jury Verdict Research reported a compensatory median award of $150,000 in California personal injury trials, an average award of approximately $1.6 million, and a plaintiff recovery rate of about 45 percent. Those figures are useful background, but they should not be mistaken for current statewide averages. The dataset is not a live measure of 2026 verdicts, and the mix of catastrophic cases can push the mathematical average far above the result in a typical case.

Chlorpyrifos Lawsuits

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

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.

If you have Parkinson’s disease after years of working with pesticides, you may have wondered whether that exposure played a role. A December 2025 study gives lawyers and scientists a serious reason to investigate chlorpyrifos. Researchers associated estimated long-term residential exposure near agricultural applications with more than 2.5 times the risk of Parkinson’s disease. They also found Parkinson’s-related brain damage in mice that inhaled chlorpyrifos.
