Our lawyers are no longer accepting new AFFF firefighting foam cases at this time. This page provides the latest updates on the AFFF firefighting foam lawsuits, the current status of MDL 2873, and our estimates of potential settlement amounts for plaintiffs with AFFF cancer and disease claims.

Aqueous film-forming foam, commonly called AFFF or firefighting foam, has been used for decades to suppress fuel fires. The problem is that many AFFF products contain PFAS chemicals, including PFOA and PFOS. These chemicals do not break down easily in the human body or the environment, which is why they are often called “forever chemicals.”

Scientific research has linked long-term PFAS exposure to serious diseases, including kidney cancer, testicular cancer, thyroid disease, thyroid cancer, liver cancer, and ulcerative colitis. People most often exposed include firefighters, airport workers, military personnel, industrial workers, and residents who drank water contaminated by PFAS from fire training sites, military bases, airports, or industrial facilities.

In this comprehensive article, we delve into the mechanisms of Bactrim, the enigma of yeast infections (Candidiasis), and how the two intersect, shedding light on an often-overlooked aspect of antibiotic treatment.

In recent years, churches and religious organizations have faced mounting liabilities related to civil sex abuse lawsuits. This page looks at civil sex abuse lawsuits involving the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, often referred to as the LDS Church or Mormon Church. We explain the legal claims that may be asserted to hold the LDS Church liable, the way these cases are moving in 2026, and the potential settlement value of Mormon Church sex abuse lawsuits.

If you were sexually abused in an LDS setting, you may have a civil claim even if the abuse happened years ago, even if no criminal charges were filed, and even if you are worried the deadline has passed. The first question is not whether you know the statute of limitations. The first question is what happened, who knew, what the Church did or failed to do, and whether there is still a legal path to compensation.

We are reviewing LDS abuse claims in 2026, including those that may be difficult on statute-of-limitations grounds. Do not assume you are too late before a lawyer looks at the facts, the state where the abuse happened, the defendant, and the available evidence.

Dexcom glucose monitor lawsuits are being filed by people who say Dexcom continuous glucose monitoring systems failed when they needed them most. These claims involve Dexcom G6 and Dexcom G7 sensors, receivers, and mobile apps that allegedly provided inaccurate glucose readings, missed high- or low- blood sugar alerts, failed early, shut down without warning, or failed to alert users that a sensor had stopped working.

Our lawyers are looking for cases where this defect led to a serious injury.  When the device gives a wrong reading or fails to send a critical alert, the result can be hypoglycemia, hyperglycemia, diabetic ketoacidosis, seizure, coma, hospitalization, or death.

The strongest Dexcom cases involve serious injury, documented device failure, medical treatment, app or receiver records, Dexcom support communications, lot or serial information, and a timeline that connects the device problem to the injury.

A new wave of Best Buy “fake discount” class action lawsuits has targeted the company’s use of advertised sale prices, “Was” prices, “Regular” prices, “Comp. Value” prices, and limited-time savings claims. These lawsuits accuse Best Buy of making ordinary prices appear to be special discounts by comparing current selling prices to reference prices that allegedly were not real, recent, or regularly charged.

In January 2025, Porchia v. Best Buy Co., Inc., was filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. It alleged that Best Buy used deceptive reference prices for televisions and major appliances sold in stores and online. That case is no longer pending. After mediation, the plaintiffs filed a voluntary dismissal in November 2025, thereby terminating the case. The dismissal notice stated that no class had been certified and no settlement class had been proposed.

But the broader issue has not gone away. In 2026, Best Buy was hit with new lawsuits challenging similar pricing practices. In April 2026, Morgan v. MN Best Buy Co., Inc. was filed in the Central District of California. In May 2026, Tanner v. Best Buy Co., Inc. was filed in the Northern District of California. These newer lawsuits continue the same basic theory: Best Buy allegedly advertised fake or inflated reference prices to create the illusion of savings.

Our attorneys are reviewing sexual abuse claims involving the Erickson Center for Adolescent Advancement in Van Nuys, California. Erickson Center was a residential youth treatment facility on Woodman Avenue that served teenagers placed there for mental health support, substance abuse treatment, behavioral issues, transitional care, or juvenile justice-related supervision.

If you were sent to Erickson Center as a child or teenager, you were not there because you had power. You were there because adults, agencies, courts, parents, counselors, or institutions had control over where you lived, what you could do, who you could call, and who you were expected to trust. That setting can help children when the right safeguards exist. Without those safeguards, it can become the perfect storm for predators.

The claims our lawyers are reviewing focus on sexual abuse, sexual assault, grooming, exploitation, physical abuse, emotional abuse, intimidation, and institutional silence. The legal question is not only what one abuser did. The larger question is whether Erickson Center, its operators, supervisors, parent entities, contractors, or oversight agencies failed to protect vulnerable minors placed in their care.

A cerebral palsy birth injury lawsuit is a medical malpractice claim filed by a family who believes a doctor, nurse, midwife, hospital, or newborn care team made a mistake that caused a baby to suffer a preventable brain injury. These cases usually involve hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE), fetal distress, delayed C-section, neonatal seizures, low cord gases, abnormal MRI findings, and a later diagnosis of cerebral palsy.

The hard truth is that not every case of cerebral palsy is a lawsuit. Many children with cerebral palsy did not suffer malpractice. Cerebral palsy can come from abnormal brain development, prematurity, infection, stroke, genetics, placental disease, or events that happened before labor. But cerebral palsy far too often also results from preventable oxygen deprivation during labor, delayed delivery, poor fetal monitoring, mismanaged Pitocin, untreated newborn seizures, or a newborn emergency that should have been handled faster. These preventable mistakes are a runway that often leads to cerebral palsy.

The best cerebral palsy birth injury cases are built from the records. The fetal monitor strip is often the closest thing to a black box in the delivery room. It can show whether the baby was doing well, when the baby began to struggle, how long the distress continued, and whether the delivery team responded quickly enough. The cord gases, Apgar scores, resuscitation notes, cooling records, NICU chart, MRI, EEG, placental pathology, and pediatric neurology records help answer the rest.

Unclaimed class action settlement money is money that was set aside for class members but never paid out because people missed the notice, moved, ignored the claim form, missed the deadline, or never cashed the settlement check.

If you have ever bought a product, signed up for a service, paid hidden fees, received a data breach notice, used a subscription service, or dealt with a company accused of misleading consumers, there is a chance you were included in a class action settlement. The problem is that many people never claim the money available to them.

Some class action settlements require receipts, account records, loss documents, or proof of purchase. Others are no-proof class action settlements. That means eligible class members may be able to file a claim by certifying that they bought the product, used the service, received the notice, or otherwise fit the settlement criteria.
