Institutional AbuseCatholic Church Abuse LawsuitSexual abuse perpetrated by Catholic clergy — priests, deacons, brothers, bishops, and other Church officials — is one of the most extensively documented institutional abuse crises in American history. The 2002 Boston Globe Spotlight investigation exposed systemic cover-up by the Archdiocese of Boston, triggering a nationwide reckoning. Since then, over 30 dioceses have filed for bankruptcy protection and more than $4 billion in settlements have been paid to survivors across the United States. Today, many survivors who experienced abuse decades ago have renewed legal options through state lookback windows — temporary legislation that suspends the statute of limitations and opens a new filing period — and through diocesan bankruptcy claims processes with court-supervised compensation funds. California's lookback window is open through December 2027. Louisiana's window is open through June 2027. New York opens a new lookback window in March 2026. The Diocese of Alexandria's bankruptcy claims deadline is June 8, 2026. If you experienced abuse by a Catholic clergyman, speaking with an attorney now can clarify exactly what options remain available to you.Read the investigation
Product LiabilityVideo Game AddictionVideo game addiction among children and adolescents has reached crisis proportions in the United States, with the World Health Organization formally classifying Gaming Disorder as a medical condition in 2019. An estimated 91% of American children ages 2 to 17 play video games, and research shows that between 3% and 10% of youth gamers meet clinical criteria for addiction. The games at the center of this litigation are precision-engineered behavioral systems that employ variable-ratio reinforcement schedules found in slot machines. Loot boxes, battle passes, and engagement-optimized matchmaking are designed to create compulsive use in children. The FTC’s $520 million settlement with Epic Games established federal precedent, and hundreds of individual lawsuits have been consolidated for coordinated proceedings with bellwether trials expected in 2026.Read the investigation
EnvironmentalEthylene OxideEthylene oxide (EtO) is a highly toxic chemical used to sterilize medical equipment and manufacture other chemicals. The EPA determined in 2016 that EtO is carcinogenic to humans at exposure levels far lower than previously thought. Residents living near EtO-emitting facilities in Georgia, Illinois, Texas, Colorado, and other states have filed lawsuits alleging their cancers — including lymphoma, breast cancer, and leukemia — were caused by chronic exposure to EtO emissions.Read the investigation
Product LiabilityDepo-Provera Brain Tumor LawsuitsDepo-Provera (medroxyprogesterone acetate / MPA) is a contraceptive injection given every three months. More than 5,830 lawsuits consolidated in MDL 3140 in the Northern District of Florida allege that Pfizer failed to warn about a significantly elevated risk of meningioma — a tumor in the tissue surrounding the brain and spinal cord. In June 2026, Pfizer reached an agreement in principle to resolve the federal MDL claims, though final terms and compensation amounts have not been disclosed and state-court cases are not covered. Women who received the shot for more than one year face up to a 5.6-fold increased risk, which rises with duration of use.Read the investigation
Institutional AbuseJuvenile Detention Center AbuseThe abuse of children in juvenile detention is a national crisis. Across the United States, approximately 36,000 young people are held in juvenile detention facilities, youth correctional centers, and residential treatment programs on any given day. Federal surveys by the Bureau of Justice Statistics found that more than 10% of confined youth report sexual victimization — and more than 80% of that abuse is perpetrated by staff, not other detainees.Read the investigation
Institutional AbuseNursing Home Abuse & Elder AbuseNursing home abuse is a pervasive crisis affecting the most vulnerable members of our society. Approximately 1.5 million Americans reside in nursing homes and long-term care facilities, and a significant proportion experience some form of abuse, neglect, or exploitation. The federal government regulates nursing home quality through the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), which publishes a five-star rating system and conducts regular health inspections — yet facilities with poor ratings continue to operate, understaffed and underfunded, leaving residents at serious risk. Types of abuse range from physical assault and sexual abuse to financial exploitation, emotional cruelty, and systematic neglect of basic care needs. When nursing homes and assisted living facilities breach their legal duty of care, they can be held liable for the full range of damages suffered by residents and their families, including medical expenses, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and in egregious cases, punitive damages designed to deter future misconduct.Read the investigation

$2.12B
Talcum Powder
A St. Louis jury awarded $4.69 billion to 22 women diagnosed with ovarian cancer after using J&J talcum powder products, including $4.14 billion in punitive damages and $550 million in compensatory damages. The Missouri Court of Appeals later reduced the award to $2.12 billion by striking the claims of plaintiffs without sufficient connection to Missouri. Even after reduction, the Ingham verdict remains one of the largest product liability awards in American history and established the template for multi-plaintiff talc trials.

$2.1B
Roundup
A Georgia jury awarded $2.1 billion to a plaintiff diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma after extensive Roundup exposure — the largest individual Roundup verdict to date. The verdict came after the Supreme Court declined to hear Bayer’s preemption defense, signaling continued legal exposure for the company. Bayer settled the case in November 2025 while it was on appeal.

Talcum Powder
A Baltimore jury returned the largest single-plaintiff talcum powder verdict in history, awarding $1.56 billion to plaintiff in Craft v. Johnson & Johnson. The award comprised $1 billion in punitive damages against J&J, $500 million in punitive damages against Pecos River Talc (a J&J-affiliated entity), and $59.84 million in compensatory damages. The verdict reflected the jury’s response to evidence of J&J’s decades-long concealment of asbestos contamination and cancer risk in its Baby Powder products.
