Ozempic, Wegovy, Rybelsus, and other GLP-1 medications are now the focus of a separate wave of lawsuits involving NAION, a rare optic nerve injury that can cause sudden and permanent vision loss. These cases allege that Novo Nordisk and other drugmakers failed to adequately warn patients and doctors that GLP-1 drugs may increase the risk of non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy.

NAION is often described as an eye stroke. It usually causes sudden, painless vision loss in one eye, often noticed upon waking. The injury can be permanent. For many plaintiffs, that is what makes these claims so serious. The allegation is not temporary blurred vision or ordinary eye irritation, but rather the permanent loss of sight after using a drug that did not carry a clear warning about this risk.

Data breaches have become one of the most common ways personal information is exposed. Social Security numbers, medical records, financial account information, driver’s license numbers, dates of birth, login credentials, and health insurance information are all stored electronically by companies that consumers often have no real choice but to trust.

When that information is stolen or exposed, the fallout can be more than an inconvenience. Victims may face identity theft, fraudulent accounts, tax problems, medical identity theft, credit damage, and hours spent trying to clean up a mess they did not create.

Data breach class action settlements usually do not make victims whole. Many settlements offer credit monitoring, identity theft protection, reimbursement for documented losses, and sometimes a smaller cash payment for people who do not have receipts. But the size of the settlement fund and the proof requirements can make a big difference in what people actually receive.

The Central California Women’s Facility, known to many as Chowchilla Women’s Prison, is now the subject of civil sexual abuse lawsuits involving allegations against correctional officers and other prison staff. The lawsuits allege that women incarcerated at Chowchilla were sexually abused, harassed, coerced, threatened, and retaliated against after reporting misconduct.

These cases focus on both individual staff misconduct and the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation’s alleged failure to prevent abuse, investigate complaints, remove dangerous officers, and protect women in custody.

Samsung is one of the most trusted names in consumer electronics. Most consumers willingly pay more for the Samsung name, and it is why so many people bought Samsung refrigerators with high expectations. These refrigerators looked modern, offered premium features, and promised the kind of convenience consumers expect from a major appliance that often costs thousands of dollars.

But for many Samsung refrigerator owners, the built-in ice maker became the most frustrating part of the appliance. Consumers reported ice makers freezing over, water leaking from the refrigerator, loud fan noises, slush buildup, cracked ice buckets, and repeated repair attempts that did not permanently fix the problem.

Those complaints eventually led to the Samsung refrigerator ice maker lawsuit, including the Bianchi v. Samsung Electronics America case filed in federal court in New Jersey. That lawsuit alleged that certain Samsung French door refrigerators had defective ice makers and that Samsung failed to provide a meaningful fix to consumers who kept dealing with the same problems.

From the early 1950s to the late 1980s, the Marine Corps base at Camp Lejeune in North Carolina provided residents and employees with drinking water heavily contaminated with toxic chemicals.

Extensive scientific research has revealed that the poisoned water supply at Camp Lejeune had a devastating impact on the long-term health of base residents, who have suffered significantly higher rates of birth defects, cancer, and neurological conditions.

Uber is defending a growing wave of lawsuits brought by passengers claiming that they were sexually abused or assaulted by an Uber driver. The lawsuits assert that Uber was negligent in failing to adequately screen its drivers before allowing them to transport passengers, allowing sexual predators to become drivers.

We will tell you right up front: our lawyers believe there are many strong claims in this litigation. The first federal bellwether verdicts have now given both sides hard data points. Uber won the first state court trial in 2025, but federal juries in 2026 have found Uber liable in two bellwether cases, including an $8.5 million verdict in Arizona.

The Uber driver sex abuse lawsuits have steadily grown over the last three years and have been consolidated in federal court as MDL No. 3084, In re: Uber Technologies, Inc., Passenger Sexual Assault Litigation, in the Northern District of California before Judge Charles R. Breyer.

Sexual abuse lawsuits at College Hospital in Cerritos, California, are being investigated by survivors and families who allege that vulnerable psychiatric patients were abused, assaulted, neglected, or placed in unsafe conditions while under the hospital’s care. These claims may involve abuse by staff, abuse by another patient, failure to supervise, failure to protect, failure to report, negligent hiring, negligent retention, dependent adult abuse, and institutional negligence.

College Hospital Cerritos is a locked psychiatric facility located in Cerritos, California. The hospital provides psychiatric services for patients of most ages, including people with mental health conditions and people with intellectual or developmental disabilities who are also dealing with psychiatric needs. That patient population is vulnerable by definition. When a facility accepts responsibility for those patients, it accepts responsibility for safety, supervision, staffing, reporting, and protection from abuse.

These cases go beyond the person who committed the abuse. A sexual abuse case against a psychiatric hospital usually turns on what the institution knew, what it should have known, and what it failed to do. Did the hospital ignore prior warning signs? Did staff fail to supervise a dangerous patient? Did employees fail to report abuse? Were vulnerable patients placed with unsafe roommates? Were complaints dismissed or minimized? Those are the questions that decide whether the hospital can be held responsible.

Our lawyers are reviewing chlorpyrifos pesticide lawsuits for people diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease after years of pesticide exposure. These cases are still early. But the science and litigation have moved fast in 2026, and the adult Parkinson’s claims now have a much stronger foundation than they did a year ago.

Chlorpyrifos is an organophosphate insecticide sold for decades under product names that included Lorsban and Dursban. It was used in agriculture, pest control, orchards, row crops, greenhouses, nurseries, turf, and some older residential pest control applications. The lawsuits allege that manufacturers and sellers knew, or should have known, that repeated chlorpyrifos exposure could damage the nervous system and increase the risk of Parkinson’s disease, but failed to give users a fair warning.

If you have ever bought a product, signed up for a service, had your data exposed in a breach, used an app, received a marketing email, or dealt with a company that may not have been fully transparent, there is a real chance you qualify for a class action settlement.

Many of the settlements listed here do not require receipts or detailed documentation for at least part of the claim. These are commonly referred to as no proof class action settlements. That does not mean anyone can file. It means eligible class members may submit a claim by certifying that they purchased the product, used the service, received a breach notice, downloaded an app, received a qualifying email, or otherwise meet the settlement criteria.

This page focuses on current and upcoming class action settlements open to consumers in 2026. Most involve data breaches, privacy violations, misleading advertising, recurring fees, receipt privacy, video privacy, or unauthorized use of consumer information. Some allow a basic claim without receipts. Others allow a smaller payment without documentation but require receipts, account records, screenshots, bank records, or other proof if you want a larger reimbursement.

Doctors and medical professionals sometimes sexually abuse patients during medical exams or treatment. Any type of inappropriate sexual touching by a doctor that is done for sexual gratification and without a valid medical reason is sexual abuse or assault.

Victims of doctor sexual abuse can file civil lawsuits against the doctor who abused them. In many cases, they can also bring claims against the medical practice, hospital, university, clinic, health system, or correctional facility that gave the doctor access to patients and failed to protect them.
