Video Game Addiction Lawsuit Settlements

Video game addiction lawsuits seek to hold gaming companies accountable for exploiting vulnerable players, particularly minors and young adults, through intentionally addictive game designs.

Gaming addiction has caused significant harm, including mental health struggles, social isolation, sleep disruption, academic decline, financial strain, and family conflict. The lawsuits allege that gaming companies prioritized profit over user safety by designing games to keep children and young adults playing longer, spending more money, and returning even when the games were harming them.

Our attorneys examine claims involving Fortnite, Roblox, Minecraft, Call of Duty, Grand Theft Auto, Apex Legends, Madden, FIFA, and other online games. Below, we look at who may qualify, the video game addiction settlement value our lawyers project for successful claims, and the latest developments in court.

Sex Abuse Lawsuits Against Illinois Youth Center Harrisburg

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

This page looks at civil lawsuits involving the sexual abuse of juvenile inmates at Illinois Youth Center Harrisburg (IYC Harrisburg). Former inmates allege that they were sexually abused by staff members who were supposed to be protecting them. These claims are part of the wider Illinois juvenile detention center sexual abuse litigation, in which survivors are seeking compensation for abuse that occurred while they were children in state custody.

The Illinois Department of Juvenile Justice had an obligation to protect children at IYC Harrisburg. The lawsuits allege that state employees and officials failed to prevent abuse, ignored warning signs, and in some cases failed to act when young people reported what was happening. Federal survey results and independent monitoring reports raise serious questions about whether the safeguards at Harrisburg were adequate.

The litigation has grown considerably since the first cases were filed in 2024. In a March 2026 disclosure, Illinois acknowledged 48 Court of Claims cases involving more than 1,100 claimants alleging sexual abuse at state youth centers. The state is fighting the lawsuits, including by seeking dismissal on procedural grounds.

Tennessee Personal Injury Verdicts | Average and Median Awards

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

This page will look at the trial and settlement value of personal injury cases in Tennessee. We will also look at key points of Tennessee law on personal injury and tort cases.

How much is a personal injury case worth in Tennessee? That depends on the injury, the evidence, the insurance coverage, and where the case is filed. But Tennessee adds a few problems that injured people in many other states do not have to deal with. There is a one-year statute of limitations for most injury claims, a harsh comparative fault rule, and statutory limits on pain and suffering damages that can take millions of dollars away from a jury’s verdict.

There is another problem that does not get nearly enough attention. Tennessee generally makes each negligent defendant responsible only for its own percentage of fault. If an insurance company can convince the jury that someone else caused part of the injury, even someone who is not in the courtroom, that can reduce the amount its insured has to pay.

Gabapentin Lawsuit: Dementia and Memory Loss Claims

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

Gabapentin lawsuits are now being filed over dementia, mild cognitive impairment, memory loss, and other serious cognitive problems. New research has raised concerns about a link between these injuries and long-term or repeated gabapentin use.

These cases are still developing, and we are in the early rounds of this. The deeper our lawyers dig into these cases, the more we believe in them.

Now, the litigation is starting to move forward. It seems the center of the litigation will be in state court in Philadelphia. A mass tort program for lawsuits involving gabapentin, sold as Neurontin, and pregabalin, sold as Lyrica, has been established there.

Baby Food Autism Lawsuit

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

Our law firm is handling baby food autism lawsuits in all 50 states.

Several popular brands of baby food contain high levels of heavy metals such as mercury, arsenic, lead, and cadmium. These heavy metals are well-known neurotoxins. Thousands of children may have developed autism and other neurodevelopmental disorders due to toxic metals found in baby foods.

A growing number of parents are pursuing a toxic baby food lawsuit to hold manufacturers accountable for their children’s exposure to harmful contaminants. These baby food autism lawsuits allege the manufacturers knew about heavy metals in their products, and children developed autism from consuming them.

Los Angeles School Sexual Abuse Lawsuits and Settlements

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

A Los Angeles school sexual abuse case begins with the person who committed the abuse. We quickly jump to the next step of figuring out what the adults in charge knew (or should have known).

Why? To get compensation in a school sex abuse lawsuit, you need to find a defendant who can pay compensation to the victim. The perpetrator, particularly in a school setting, is unlikely to have the assets to fund a settlement or verdict. So we look at the school’s negligence to find compensation.

Most predators in a school setting do much of their legwork in plain sight. A teacher or coach who texts students privately, drives them places that are not home, or has one-on-one meetings behind a closed door. One principal may have known about a boundary violation while the district office held a separate complaint from another campus.

Tylenol Autism Lawsuit

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

Our lawyers stopped accepting new Tylenol autism and ADHD cases after Judge Denise Cote excluded the plaintiffs’ causation experts, a ruling that led to the dismissal of the federal lawsuits.

There is now real reason for renewed optimism. In July 2026, the Second Circuit overturned the judgments resulting from Judge Cote’s expert testimony rulings. The defendants then asked the appeals court to reconsider, and, as we discuss below, that request has now been denied.

But our firm has not yet resumed accepting new Tylenol autism or ADHD claims. The appeals court did not decide that Tylenol causes autism or ADHD, and important questions about the expert evidence still have to be addressed on remand. We will continue following the litigation and reassess our position as the next steps become clearer.

Delaware Sex Abuse Lawsuits

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

If you were the victim of sexual abuse or assault in Delaware, either as a child or an adult, you may have the right to bring a civil lawsuit against both your abuser and any school, company, or organization that might be liable for the abuse.

Delaware eliminated the statute of limitations for most childhood sexual abuse claims in 2007. But not every older claim survived that change, and adult survivors face a much shorter deadline. This page explains the Delaware statute of limitations for sex abuse lawsuits, who can be held responsible, and the potential settlement value of these cases.

If you or someone you love was sexually abused in Delaware, contact us today at 800-553-8082 or reach out to us online for a free, confidential case review.

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.
