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 Uber drivers before hiring them, allowing sexual predators to become drivers.

We will tell you right up front: our lawyers believe there are many strong claims in this litigation, and we think there is a real chance this MDL will have the higher average settlement amounts of any MDL class action in U.S. history.

The Uber driver sex abuse lawsuits have steadily grown over the last two years and have now been consolidated into a “class action lawsuit” MDL in the Northern District of California.

Within the past year, many lawsuits have been filed against Teva Pharmaceuticals. These Paragard IUD lawsuits allege that suits allege that Teva’s IUD fractures upon removal, resulting in fragments being left in the uterus. The plaintiffs claimed this caused them to undergo additional removal procedures, which would have been unnecessary had this defect not occurred.  The purpose of this page is to provide a status update on the current state of the Paragard lawsuits as of 2025.

Indeed, the biggest news in the short history of this litigation was last month when these lawsuits were centralized into an MDL in Georgia federal court.  This means there will be a class action in which all federal court cases will be consolidated in Georgia under one judge.  So if you have a federal case in California, Texas, Florida, or anywhere, it will end up.

Let’s start out by talking about some of the science behind these cases.  Usually, what fuels litigation is that studies come out, and lawyers jump on these studies to bring lawsuits.  In this litigation, it might be a little bit backward.  It took a while for plaintiffs’ lawyers to pick up on the problems with Paragard.  Now a new study further supports the contention Paragard lawyers are making.

Recent scientific research has confirmed a troubling link between the long-term use of Depo-Provera—the injectable birth control shot—and the development of meningioma brain tumors. Women who received Depo-Provera injections and were later diagnosed with meningiomas may now be eligible to file lawsuits against Pfizer, the drug’s manufacturer, for failing to warn about this serious risk. Our lawyers believe this will be an extremely successful mass tort in terms of getting vicitms settlement compensation, as we explain more fully below.

As of August 2025, more than 500 Depo-Provera lawsuits have already been filed and consolidated into a federal multidistrict litigation (MDL-3140) in the Northern District of Florida. These cases allege that Pfizer ignored growing evidence about the tumor risks associated with the drug’s active ingredient, medroxyprogesterone acetate, and failed to update the U.S. label, even after other countries issued warnings.

This page will discuss the Depo Provera brain tumor lawsuits and what you need to know if you have a potential case. Here’s everything you need to know about the Depo-Provera lawsuit, how to join, potential settlement amounts, and what comes next.

Philips has agreed to a $1.1 billion settlement to resolve personal injury claims related to its recalled CPAP, BiPAP, and ventilator devices. The recall was initiated due to the degradation of sound-abatement foam, which could release harmful particles and gases into the device’s airflow, potentially leading to serious health issues such as respiratory problems and certain cancers.

The settlement process is structured to compensate affected individuals based on the severity of their injuries and the extent of their exposure to the defective devices. Payouts are expected to commence in 2025, with initial payments ranging from $7,500 to $10,000 for less severe cases. More severe cases, such as those involving lung cancer or significant pulmonary conditions, may receive higher compensation, potentially exceeding $100,000, depending on individual circumstances and documentation provided.

In addition to the personal injury settlement, Philips has also agreed to a separate $479 million class-action settlement to address economic losses suffered by users of the recalled devices. This includes compensation for the cost of purchasing or leasing the defective machines and related expenses.

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.

Our lawyers are not taking new clients in this litigation. This page provides the latest updates on the Camp Lejeune litigation and addresses some of your key questions as this litigation drags on.

If you were sexually abused in a California juvenile detention center, you are not alone… and it is not too late to come forward.

Thousands of survivors have already filed lawsuits against the state and its juvenile facilities, exposing a history of widespread abuse, cover-ups, and institutional failure. A $4 billion settlement in Los Angeles County confirmed what so many victims have known for years: this was not isolated misconduct. It was a system that failed to protect the very youth it was supposed to rehabilitate.

Even after that settlement, new claims continue to be filed. Not just in Los Angeles, but in San Diego, San Bernardino, Riverside, Alameda, and other counties across California. More survivors are stepping forward every day.

Growing scrutiny surrounds Dr. Mark E. Mulholland, an obstetrician-gynecologist who practiced in Washington’s Tri-Cities region for more than 20 years, as a wave of women continue to come forward with disturbing accounts of sexual abuse and harassment that allegedly occurred under the guise of routine medical care.

Mulholland served patients at Kadlec Regional Medical Center and affiliated Providence clinics, where former patients say he routinely crossed professional boundaries, made sexual remarks, and performed painful and invasive procedures without consent. Despite receiving numerous complaints dating back to at least 2003, the hospitals reportedly failed to intervene, allowing his conduct to continue unchecked for decades.

What happened inside the Central California Women’s Facility, known to most as Chowchilla Women’s Prison, is not a story of isolated misconduct. It is a record of sustained institutional failure. For years, correctional officers at Chowchilla used their authority to coerce, manipulate, and abuse incarcerated women. The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation received warnings. Complaints were filed. Those in charge did not act.

Hundreds of survivors have now come forward. Their lawsuits describe repeated sexual assaults, unwanted touching, threats of retaliation, and an entrenched system that protected the abusers. These women were not protected by the state. They were targeted by it.

If you or someone you care about was abused at Chowchilla, you do not have to remain silent. Survivors are filing lawsuits to hold the system accountable. You have the right to pursue justice.
