Los Angeles County is at the center of one of the largest government-run institutional child sexual abuse scandals in United States history. Thousands of claims involve children placed in county juvenile halls, probation camps, foster homes, group homes, and the former MacLaren Children’s Center.

Survivors allege that probation officers, facility employees, contracted caregivers, medical staff, and other adults sexually abused children who were under county supervision. Many claims also allege that complaints were ignored, reports were buried, and accused employees were transferred rather than removed.

Millions of young people have passed through state and county juvenile detention facilities across the country. Recent lawsuits and investigations have exposed what many of these children endured behind locked doors. Juvenile detainees have alleged rape, sexual assault, coercion, grooming, unwanted touching, and retaliation by guards, counselors, contractors, medical workers, and other staff members who were supposed to protect them.

A growing number of states have changed their laws to give childhood sexual abuse survivors more time to file civil lawsuits. In some states, survivors can bring claims decades after the abuse occurred.

Our sexual abuse lawyers handle juvenile detention center sex abuse cases nationwide. If you were sexually abused while confined in a juvenile facility, call us at 888-322-3010 or request a free case review to learn whether you may have a claim for financial compensation.

For decades, Illinois had some of the worst juvenile detention centers in the country for abuse, neglect, and lack of oversight. Countless young people placed in these facilities were sexually abused, assaulted, threatened, silenced, or ignored when they tried to report what happened.

With changes in Illinois law, many survivors of childhood sexual abuse in juvenile detention centers can now bring civil lawsuits and seek financial compensation, even when the abuse happened years ago. These cases focus on staff abuse, unsafe housing, poor supervision, ignored complaints, retaliation, and systemic failures inside facilities that were supposed to protect children.

Our Illinois sex abuse lawyers are currently reviewing juvenile detention center sex abuse lawsuits from victims across the state. If you were sexually abused at an Illinois Youth Center, county juvenile detention center, residential youth facility, or similar custodial setting, contact our lawyers at 888-322-3010 or request a free case review online.

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.

Roundup lawsuits have been going on for over eight years now. This is the story of the Roundup litigation, what plaintiffs can do in 2025, and an update on the latest spate of Roundup NHL verdicts nationwide.

Lawsuits regarding the Roundup weed killer allege that Monsanto’s herbicide led to the development of non-Hodgkin lymphoma or similar cancers in individuals. Plaintiffs claim that Monsanto and its parent company, Bayer, failed to disclose the potential cancer risks associated with the product to the public. Moreover, these legal actions assert that the company deliberately misled the public about Roundup’s safety.

Referred to in litigation as the “Monsanto Papers,” internal communications from Monsanto revealed potential concealment of Roundup’s cancer connection over an extended period. These documents purportedly displayed evidence of the company’s amicable relationships with regulators and tactics employed to suppress scientific evidence linking glyphosate to cancer.

In most school sexual abuse lawsuits, proving the abuse is only the beginning. The harder fight is proving what the school knew, who received the warning, and what administrators did after they had reason to suspect a student was in danger.

These cases may involve teachers, coaches, counselors, administrators, volunteers, bus drivers, contractors, or other students. The institution may be legally responsible when earlier complaints were ignored, warning signs were concealed, supervision was inadequate, or a known danger was allowed to remain around children.

Institutions rarely announce what they knew. The evidence usually appears one email, one personnel record, and one forgotten complaint at a time. Our lawyers investigate school sexual abuse claims nationwide. If you or your child was abused in a school setting, call us at 888-322-3010 or contact us online. The consultation is free and confidential.

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.
