Connecticut Sexual 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 the person who abused you and, in many cases, a school, church, company, treatment center, government agency, or other organization that failed to protect you.

That second part is where the real civil case is.

The abuser is responsible for the abuse. No question. But what did the adults around that person know? Were there earlier complaints? Did a school quietly move an employee instead of investigating? Did DCF have information that should have triggered intervention? Did an organization put its reputation ahead of the child it was supposed to protect?

San Diego Juvenile Hall Sex Abuse Lawsuits

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

This page looks at civil lawsuits for victims of sexual abuse at San Diego juvenile detention centers.

San Diego juvenile halls are at the center of a troubling investigation into allegations of sexual abuse and misconduct against minors who were detained at the facility. Survivors have come forward with reports of sexual exploitation, misconduct by staff members, and a pervasive culture of sexual abuse that was allegedly ignored or covered up by those in power. These allegations are part of a larger pattern of sexual abuse within the juvenile justice system, where vulnerable youth are too often subjected to harm by the very individuals entrusted with their care.

We think San Diego will be the next California juvenile hall sex abuse settlement domino to fall. Our lawyers talk about this, and the San Diego juvenile hall settlement amounts we expect to see in these lawsuits, below.

Washington Sex Abuse Lawsuits

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

If you were the victim of sexual abuse or assault in Seattle or anywhere in Washington, either as a child or an adult, you may have the right to bring a civil lawsuit. The lawsuit may name not only the abuser but also a school, facility, company, government agency, church, or other organization that enabled the abuse or failed to protect you. Our sex abuse attorneys help survivors hold these institutions accountable.

This page looks at sexual abuse lawsuits in Washington, including recent cases, settlement amounts, the statute of limitations, and what you actually have to prove to bring a claim.

Washington has also changed its statute of limitations for childhood sexual abuse. For qualifying abuse occurring on or after June 6, 2024, there is no civil statute of limitations. Older claims are different. We explain those rules below because, unfortunately, the answer for an older survivor is not nearly as simple.

Truvada Lawsuit

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

This page is about Truvada lawsuits and other HIV drug injury lawsuits involving kidney or bone injuries.

HIV drugs containing tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) are, we believe, putting patients at risk. This has resulted in HIV drug lawsuits from victims alleging kidney disease and failure, bone density loss, bone injuries, and other side effects.

Viread® and Truvada® are two of the first brand-name drugs developed by Gilead Sciences to treat HIV. Viread and Truvada both use tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF), a new type of antiviral drug that was one of the first effective treatments for slowing HIV.

Bone Fracture Birth Injury Lawsuit

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

A broken bone discovered after childbirth does not automatically mean that the obstetric team committed malpractice. Clavicle, humerus, femur, and skull fractures can occur during a genuinely difficult delivery even when doctors and nurses respond appropriately. The legal question is how the fracture happened, whether the team used excessive force or misused an instrument, and whether a different response would probably have prevented the injury.

Most isolated newborn fractures heal well. The cases with the greatest medical and settlement consequences usually involve an associated brachial plexus injury, intracranial bleeding, brain damage, delayed diagnosis, permanent weakness, or developmental impairment. Parents need an honest assessment that separates a temporary fracture from the larger injury sometimes hidden behind it.

Our birth injury lawyers review cases involving fractures caused by shoulder dystocia, difficult extraction, forceps, vacuum devices, breech delivery, and delayed cesarean delivery. Call 800-553-8082 or contact us online for a free consultation.

Apartment Negligent Security Lawsuits

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

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.

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.
