Alerting All Parents!
Has Your Child Been Harmed by Social Media?
Our legal team holds social media companies accountable for dangerous practices that impact teenagers and children.
Popular social media companies are facing wrongful death and other lawsuits for failing to protect minors from harm caused by the use of their addictive apps and platforms.
As social media usage has risen amongst teenagers to nearly 97 percent, there has been a parallel surge of mental health concerns across the country. Shockingly, social media may have contributed to an increase in teen suicides from age 12 to 16 years old by as much as 146 percent between 2007 and 2018. Recently, the U.S. Surgeon General called on social media companies to design safer products to protect vulnerable teens and their mental health.
Parents with minor children who developed suicidal behavior or other mental health conditions after using one of the following social media platforms may be eligible for compensation:
- Snapchat
- TikTok
- Discord
- YouTube
- Tumblr
- OnlyFans
- Kik

- Bullying
- Unhealthy body image

- Severe depression
- Self-harm
- Sleep deprivation
- Eating disorder
