They Built the Trap.
Your Family
Paid the Price.
Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, Snapchat, YouTube, and Roblox designed their platforms to addict children and teenagers — and internal documents prove they knew the harm they were causing. Attorneys handling social media addiction lawsuits and settlements are reviewing claims nationwide. Find out if your family qualifies.
Litigation Status
Cases Are Moving
Federal multidistrict litigation is active. State attorneys general have filed. Jury trials are approaching. The window to join an active social media lawsuit or position your claim for a settlement is narrowing — acting now preserves your options.
A federal MDL consolidating thousands of social media addiction lawsuits against Meta, TikTok, Snap, and Google is underway in the Northern District of California. New cases are still being added.
Attorneys general in over 41 states have filed separate social media lawsuits alleging platforms violated consumer protection and child safety laws — adding legal pressure and public record on both sides.
Attorneys in this network work on contingency only. Legal fees come exclusively from any settlement or verdict recovered. If you recover nothing, you owe nothing.

Legal Theories
How These
Lawsuits Win
Social media addiction lawsuits rest on documented corporate misconduct — not speculation. Attorneys connected through this network will identify which theories apply to your family's situation.
Negligent Product Design — Engineered Addiction
Platforms deployed infinite scroll, notification manipulation, and algorithmic amplification specifically designed to create compulsive use — particularly in developing adolescent brains. The design was intentional, not incidental.
Failure to Warn — Known Harms Concealed
Internal research at Meta and other platforms documented links between use and depression, anxiety, eating disorders, and suicidal ideation in teenage girls and boys — and that research was deliberately suppressed.
Child Safety Violations — COPPA & KOSA
Platforms knowingly allowed minors under 13 to use services, collected their data without parental consent, and targeted them with adult content despite legal prohibitions. These violations form independent grounds for litigation.
Instagram & Facebook Eating Disorder Claims
Meta's internal research specifically identified Instagram's algorithm as a driver of body image disorders and eating disorders in teenage girls. Instagram lawsuit claims based on this evidence are among the strongest in the MDL.
TikTok Wrongful Death & Self-Harm Claims
TikTok's algorithm has been shown to serve progressively darker content to at-risk teens, including material related to suicide and self-harm. Wrongful death lawsuits involving TikTok are among the highest-value claims in social media litigation.
Roblox — Child Exploitation & Predatory Design
Roblox lawsuits allege exposure of minors to predatory users, sexually exploitative content, and addictive virtual currency mechanics that target children's spending impulses. Parental claims are being actively filed.
Eligibility
Signs Your Family
Has a Claim
These circumstances commonly support viable social media lawsuit or settlement claims. When it's unclear, a connected attorney makes the determination at no cost to you.
Your child developed anxiety, depression, or an eating disorder
Mental health diagnoses linked to social media use — especially with documented treatment — are central to many active social media lawsuit claims.
Platform use began before age 13 or 16
Minors are a protected class in social media litigation. Use that began at a young age and continued for months or years strengthens your case significantly.
Your child required hospitalization or treatment
Emergency psychiatric care, inpatient treatment, eating disorder programs, or documented self-harm substantially increases the potential value of a social media settlement claim.
Your family experienced a suicide-related event
Wrongful death and attempted suicide claims involving social media platforms are among the most serious in current litigation. A connected attorney can assess these cases confidentially.
Your child was harmed on Roblox, Discord, or a gaming platform
Exploitation, grooming, exposure to inappropriate content, or addictive spending mechanics on platforms marketed to children may give rise to standalone claims.
Harm occurred within the last several years
Statute of limitations rules vary by state, and many apply the discovery rule. A connected attorney will evaluate your exact timeframe at no charge.

Families Who Came Forward
Their Words
"My daughter was 12 when she got Instagram. By 14 she was hospitalized for an eating disorder. I had no idea what I was looking at legally until I found this site."
"The attorney explained the MDL process clearly. We're part of a much larger case now. My son's TikTok use was documented — it wasn't just screen time, it was harm."
"We didn't think we had a case because our son was using Roblox, not Instagram. The attorney told us Roblox lawsuits are very much active. We had no idea."
Common Questions
What You Need to Know
Yes. There is active litigation against Meta (Instagram and Facebook) consolidated in a federal MDL in the Northern District of California, with thousands of individual Instagram lawsuit claims already filed. New claimants are still being accepted. Submit your information for a free evaluation to find out if your family qualifies.
TikTok faces multiple lawsuits alleging its algorithm was deliberately designed to addict minors and that ByteDance failed to protect young users from harmful content. A global TikTok settlement has not been finalized, which means those who file now may be better positioned than those who wait. A connected attorney can assess your TikTok claim at no cost.
Yes. Roblox lawsuits are being filed by parents alleging exposure to predatory users, exploitative in-game purchases, and addictive design targeting children. Some Roblox cases involve serious child exploitation. Tell us what happened and a connected attorney will evaluate whether you have a viable claim.
Potentially yes. A substantial portion of active social media lawsuits involve exactly this — Instagram and TikTok knowingly pushing content that caused eating disorders, depression, anxiety, and self-harm in young users. Internal Meta research confirmed the harm and the company suppressed it. If your child received treatment, a connected attorney should evaluate your case.
Individual social media lawsuit settlement values vary based on the severity of harm, duration of use, age of the victim, and documented treatment. Cases involving hospitalization, diagnosed eating disorders, self-harm, or wrongful death typically carry higher potential value. A connected attorney can give you a better sense of where your claim stands in a free, confidential case review.
Yes, and the clock may already be running. Most states apply a statute of limitations of two to three years from when harm was discovered. For minors, the clock often starts at age 18 — but not always. With MDL litigation consolidating rapidly, attorneys strongly advise filing now. Contact a connected attorney today to find out where you stand.
Yes. Parents and guardians can file a social media lawsuit on behalf of a minor child — and claims filed while harm is ongoing and documented may actually be stronger. Minor plaintiffs often receive additional statutory protections. Submit your information and a connected attorney will clarify your family's options at no cost.
