For years, juvenile detention centers in Michigan have been accused of failing to protect young inmates from sexual abuse. Recently, a series of investigations and lawsuits have begun to uncover a systemic problem and evidence that juvenile inmates in Michigan were frequently victimized by staff members at various facilities. Victims of sexual abuse at Michigan juvenile detention centers are now coming forward and filing lawsuits against the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS).

This page will look at sex abuse lawsuits involving Michigan juvenile detention centers and residential treatment facilities, and the settlement value of these cases.

Our lawyers are helping victims file hair relaxer lawsuits throughout the country. This page is about how chemical hair straighteners can cause uterine fibroids. This page will look at these cases and their potential settlement value.

African American women are three times more likely to develop uterine fibroids. Why?  No one was asking why.

We may know why. New scientific research shows that a contributing cause to uterine cancer and uterine fibroids in Black women may be the chemicals in hair relaxers.  Lawsuits are now being brought by women who used hair relaxer products and developed uterine fibroids.  In 2023, there is now a hair relaxer class action lawsuit that is easy for you to join.

Our national mass tort lawyers are currently seeking and investigating Wegovy lawsuits for individuals who used Wegovy and subsequently developed gastroparesis or related health conditions.’ This page will look at Wegovy lawsuits and their potential settlement value.

Wegovy (semaglutide) is the brand name of a prescription drug that is used for weight loss and weight management. Wegovy has been around awhile, but recent studies have found that prolonged use of this drug can significantly increase the risk of developing gastroparesis.

Until recently, the drug label for Wegovy did not contain any warning about the potential risk of gastroparesis. This has prompted a wave of product liability lawsuits alleging that the drug maker negligently failed to warn. Anyone who suffered gastroparesis after using Wegovy may be able to file a Wegovy lawsuit and get financial compensation.

Our firm’s national mass tort lawyers attorneys continuously monitor and track events in the various class action MDLs pending in the federal courts (MDL Docket #s). We track the volume of new cases being filed or transferred into each MDL every month, the trends or patterns in new case filings, and the status of bellwether trials, discovery, and other proceedings. And, of course, we track mass tort settlement amounts.

With a new year, we are starting to get a clearer picture of what we can expect in 2025 from the various mass tort MDLs, including those ready to grow and those ready to settle.

This post examines the hottest, biggest, and most compelling mass torts in 2025. If you click the individual links, we also project these settlement amounts.

The Cartiva toe implant is a synthetic cartilage device used to treat arthritis in the big toe. New evidence suggests that these implants are defectively designed and prone to failures that can result in pain, further surgery, and other injuries. Cartiva toe implant lawsuits are now being filed by individuals who experienced a premature failure of their implant.

We hoped to see Cartiva settlement payouts by 2025 from a global settlement. That has not happened. Unfortunately, this litigation is dragging on. But these lawsuits could reach a settlement at any time. You want to submit a case before that happens. So, if you have a claim, call us or another lawyer sooner rather than later.

Not many of these lawsuits have been filed. The last Cartiva lawsuit we saw was on December 2024 as we report below.  But there are a lot more cases out there, and that is likely to change if there is not a settlement soon. If you have a potential claim, call us today at 800-553-8082 or get a free consultation online.
