Roundup lawsuit 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.

Our lawyers are reviewing claims online gambling addiction lawsuits against major sportsbook and casino app companies, including DraftKings, FanDuel, BetMGM, Caesars, ESPN Bet, Bet365, Fanatics Sportsbook, Hard Rock Bet, and other mobile betting platforms.

These claims are not built on the idea that every losing bet should be refunded. Our question is did the betting company use its data, app design, promotions, and customer targeting to keep a vulnerable person gambling after the warning signs were obvious?  The evidence is showing our attorneys that they did.

The strongest cases show more than losses. They show escalating deposits, late-night betting, loss chasing, repeated promotions, VIP contact, failed self-exclusion, ignored limits, mental health harm, family intervention, treatment records, and a platform that kept pushing instead of slowing the user down.

Sexual abuse inside a women’s prison is not a relationship, a misunderstanding, or a gray area. It is an abuse of custody and control by someone who has power over where a woman lives, works, receives medical care, and whether she is punished for speaking up.

California women’s prison sexual abuse lawsuits now include claims tied to Central California Women’s Facility in Chowchilla,  California Institution for Women in Chino, and the Folsom Women’s Facility. Some cases involve named officers who were criminally charged or convicted. Others involve medical abuse, kitchen or work assignment abuse, retaliation after reporting, ignored grievances, failed PREA investigations, abusive doctors, and institutional decisions that allegedly let dangerous staff stay around women in custody.

This page is written for survivors and families who are trying to understand whether they have a civil case. The answer depends on the facility, dates, perpetrator, proof, injuries, reporting history, and deadline rules. You do not need a criminal conviction to bring a civil sexual abuse lawsuit. You do need a careful timeline, the right defendant theory, and a lawyer who understands prison abuse cases against the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR).

Parents buy children’s toothpaste because they are trying to do the right thing. You read the label, look for the safer choice, and trust that a product marketed as kid-friendly, natural, and clean is not hiding something you would never knowingly put in your child’s mouth.

That trust is now at the center of the Hello toothpaste lawsuits. Hello Products, now owned by Colgate-Palmolive, is facing lawsuits over several different issues:

The California Institution for Women, commonly called CIW, is one of California’s primary women’s prisons and one of the state’s prison facilities now facing serious sexual abuse allegations.
This page is about civil lawsuits for women who were sexually abused, sexually assaulted, coerced, harassed, or subjected to abusive medical treatment while incarcerated at CIW. The allegations involve correctional officers, prison staff, medical staff, and Dr. Scott Lee, the former CIW gynecologist accused in federal litigation of abusing incarcerated women under the pretense of medical care.
If you were abused at CIW, the first thing to understand is this: being incarcerated did not take away your right to bodily safety. A prison sentence is not permission for a guard, doctor, cook, nurse, counselor, supervisor, or anyone else with authority to use your body.
California law and California jurors now recognize the obvious power imbalance inside detention facilities. In a prison setting, sexual contact by staff is not treated like ordinary adult contact because the staff member holds the keys, controls movement, controls write-ups, controls access to medical care, and can make daily life unbearable.
Women are now filing CIW sexual abuse lawsuits because they allege CDCR and CIW officials failed to stop abuse, failed to respond to complaints, failed to supervise staff, and allowed known risks to continue. These cases are not just about one employee. The strongest lawsuits focus on the institution’s knowledge, warnings, ignored complaints, retaliation, and failure to protect women in custody.
Our firm is currently reviewing CIW sex abuse cases involving correctional officers, prison employees, Dr. Scott Lee, medical staff, and other personnel. You can call 888-322-3010 or contact us online.

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.

If you were sexually abused in Michigan, whether it happened recently or years ago, this page explains your legal options. A civil lawsuit can seek compensation from the abuser, but in many cases, the stronger claim is against the institution that gave the abuser access and failed to protect you.

Michigan sex abuse lawsuits may involve schools, churches, hospitals, doctors, nurses, juvenile detention centers, residential treatment facilities, foster care placements, youth programs, employers, coaches, counselors, transportation companies, or public institutions. These cases are not all the same. But the core question is often similar: who had the power to stop the abuse, what warning signs existed, and why did no one act in time?

Michigan law gives some survivors more time than ordinary injury victims. But the state still has one of the more restrictive civil deadline systems compared to states that have opened broad revival windows for older childhood sexual abuse claims. That may change. The Justice for Survivors bills have moved farther than past reform efforts. But until the Legislature acts, survivors must still work within current Michigan law.

If you have ever bought a product, signed up for a service, had your data exposed in a breach, 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, or otherwise meet the settlement criteria.

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

Camp Barrett Juvenile Detention Facility lawsuits involve allegations that boys detained at the former San Diego County youth facility in Alpine, California, were sexually abused, physically abused, threatened, ignored, or left unprotected by the adults responsible for their safety.

Camp Barrett was a juvenile detention facility operated by the San Diego County Probation Department. It was meant to serve as a rehabilitation program for boys placed in custody by the juvenile court system, many of whom were minors with no history of violence. But for some of the youth sent there, Camp Barrett became a site of profound trauma from physical and sexual abuse.

Survivors have come forward with allegations that staff members sexually abused boys in their custody, taking advantage of the facility’s isolation and lack of oversight. The reports describe a system that did not simply overlook warning signs but created the conditions that allowed abuse to occur. Officers had access to children in private spaces, complaints were ignored or never documented, and leadership failed to act despite indications of misconduct.

East Mesa Juvenile Detention Facility lawsuits involve allegations that children detained in San Diego County’s juvenile justice system were sexually abused, assaulted, threatened, ignored, or left unprotected by the adults responsible for their safety.

East Mesa Juvenile Detention Facility (or EMJDF) is a secure juvenile detention facility in the Otay Mesa area of San Diego. It is operated by the San Diego County Probation Department. San Diego County describes East Mesa as the primary booking facility for juvenile detentions, with a rated capacity of 290 beds across multiple housing units.

When a child is placed in custody, the government assumes responsibility for that child’s safety. By any definition, these are vulnerable children who deserve every chance to get their lives on track. So the facility must use reasonable care to protect children from foreseeable harm, including sexual abuse by staff members, probation officers, contractors, counselors, medical personnel, volunteers, or other adults with access to minors.
