Timberline Knolls Residential Treatment Center was supposed to be a safe place. For years, families entrusted Timberline Knolls in Lemont, Illinois, with their daughters, sisters, and loved ones. The facility promised compassionate care and evidence-based treatment for mental health issues like trauma, eating disorders, bipolar disorder, and borderline personality disorder.

For decades, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church or Mormon Church) has operated behind a carefully constructed curtain of respectability. With over 17 million members and a global reputation for discipline and family values, the Mormon Church portrays itself as a moral anchor in a world adrift. No question, many of its members have followed the path of righteousness.

But underneath that public image lies a darker truth: a systemic pattern of sexual abuse and institutional cover-up that has left thousands of survivors in its wake. These survivors are now filing Mormon Church sexual abuse lawsuits to expose the truth, seek justice, and ensure that what happened to them never happens to another child again.

In 2025, the scope and magnitude of LDS sex abuse lawsuits has expanded significantly. These legal claims target not just individual perpetrators, bishops, missionaries, youth leaders, and other members of the LDS Church. They target the institution itself, alleging decades of deliberate concealment and obstruction. These LDS Church sexual abuse lawsuits aim to shine a spotlight on what plaintiffs allege is a coordinated system of silence, where protecting the Church’s reputation was prioritized over protecting children from predators.

Ozempic (semaglutide) is a widely used prescription medication for type 2 diabetes and weight management. Recent scientific studies indicate that higher doses of Ozempic can lead to gallstones and gallbladder disease, often requiring surgical intervention for gallbladder removal. Research has also shown that Ozempic can cause gastroparesis, a serious condition that causes food to move too slowly through the stomach to the small intestine.

Until recently, the warning label for Ozempic failed to inform patients and physicians about the risk of gallbladder-related issues or gastroparesis. Individuals who experienced gallbladder disease or gastroparesis after using Ozempic may have grounds for financial compensation through a product liability lawsuit. Lawsuits against the drug’s manufacturers emerged in 2023 and will soon be consolidated into an Ozempic class action lawsuit.

For those involved in an Ozempic-related gallbladder lawsuit, contact our attorneys today at 800-322-3010 or reach out online for a complimentary consultation.

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.
