California’s juvenile detention system has faced longstanding criticism due to a deeply troubling history of widespread sexual abuse allegations involving its most vulnerable youth. Survivors have suffered lasting physical, emotional, and psychological trauma—pain that often persists for a lifetime. In many cases, the perpetrators were the very guards charged with their protection. In others, the abuse came from fellow detainees, while the system failed to intervene or deliberately turned a blind eye.

A 2019 law extending the statute of limitations for civil suits in child sexual abuse cases until a survivor’s 40th birthday has given many the legal power and confidence to come forward—often decades after the abuse occurred. This legislative shift has triggered a wave of legal action, with more than 2,300 lawsuits now pending against California’s Division of Juvenile Justice (DJJ), many involving incidents from years past. Recent updates to the law have gone even further, completely removing the statute of limitations for abuse that occurs on or after January 1, 2024.

Video game addiction was once a niche concern. Not anymore in 2025. Video game addiction is understood to be a growing public health crisis affecting millions of players worldwide, particularly children and teens.

As video game addiction lawsuits against major developers gain momentum, many families are seeking justice for the emotional, physical, and financial harm caused by games intentionally designed to exploit psychological vulnerabilities.

Why?  The awful things these companies have done and are still doing to foster addiction. We also talk about the symptoms of gaming disorders like Fortnite addiction symptoms and Roblox addiction symptoms, the challenges of pursuing a video game lawsuit, and how settlement amounts might be calculated in these cases.

Millions of women use chemical hair relaxers on a regular basis. In 2022, new scientific research revealed that chronic exposure to the chemicals in hair relaxer products can cause uterine and ovarian cancer. This new evidence prompted a wave of lawsuits against the manufacturers of hair relaxer products by women claiming that they developed cancer as a result of using these products.

These cases are moving forward. The MDL judge has scheduled the first bellwether trial for November 3, 2025, with a second trial to follow in February 2026. These trials are intended to help both sides gauge how juries might respond to the evidence and could influence settlement discussions…if there is not a global settlement before the first trial, as many, including our lawyers, suspect.

Our mass tort lawyers have been at the forefront of the hair relaxer cancer lawsuits from the very beginning. We are currently accepting hair relaxer cancer cases from women across the country.  Call our office today for a free consultation at 888-322-3010, or get a free online consultation.
