Chiquita Canyon Landfill

Residents of Val Verde, Live Oak, Hasley Hills, and surrounding communities who have been affected by odors, health problems, or property value losses related to the Chiquita Canyon Landfill may be eligible to pursue claims.

An exothermic reaction in the landfill’s decomposing waste has been producing elevated levels of hazardous gases, including benzene—a known carcinogen. The reaction generates intense heat....

Pasadena, CA

Eaton Fire Claims

The Eaton Fire tore through Pasadena and Altadena in January 2025, burning more than 14,000 acres and destroying approximately 9,400 structures — seventeen people lost their lives. Investigations have focused heavily on Southern California Edison and its electrical infrastructure as a potential cause, with multiple lawsuits alleging that SCE failed to properly maintain its infrastructure and failed to de-energize lines during extreme fire conditions.

Los Angeles, CA

Sunshine Canyon Landfill Claims

The Sunshine Canyon Landfill in Los Angeles has been the subject of thousands of complaints from nearby residents who have been living with toxic odors, air quality violations, and health problems for years. Since 2009, the landfill has generated over 10,700 odor complaints and received more than 210 notices of violation from the South Coast Air Quality Management District.

Los Angeles, CA

Porter Ranch Gas Leak Claims

On October 23, 2015, a massive natural gas leak erupted from the Aliso Canyon Gas Storage Facility in Porter Ranch, a community in the northern San Fernando Valley. For 118 days, approximately 100,000 tons of methane and other gases poured into the atmosphere, sickening thousands of residents and forcing mass evacuations — it was the largest natural gas leak in United States history.

California

Social Media Youth Addiction Claims

Children and teenagers are spending more time on social media than ever before — and the mental health consequences are becoming impossible to ignore. Lawsuits allege that platforms like Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Snapchat, and Discord were deliberately designed to be addictive, and that the companies behind them knew their products were harming children and chose profits over safety.

California

Roblox Child Safety Claims

Roblox was marketed as a safe, creative space where children could play games and interact with friends — but a growing body of evidence reveals that the platform has failed to implement adequate safeguards against child exploitation. Predators have used Roblox to groom, exploit, and in some cases physically harm children, and reports to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children related to Roblox increased from 675 in 2019 to more than 24,500 in 2024.

California

Uber Sexual Assault Claims

When someone requests an Uber ride, they are placing their trust and their physical safety in the hands of a driver they have never met — but for thousands of passengers, that trust has been shattered by sexual assault at the hands of Uber drivers. More than 3,700 plaintiffs across 30 states have filed claims in the federal multidistrict litigation, with allegations that Uber knew about the scope of the problem and failed to implement the safety measures that could have prevented it.

California

Ultra-Processed Food Health Claims

Emerging litigation alleges that the companies behind ultra-processed foods designed them to be addictive, marketed them aggressively to children, and concealed what they knew about the health consequences. In December 2025, San Francisco filed the first government lawsuit against 10 major food manufacturers — including Kraft Heinz, PepsiCo, and Coca-Cola — alleging unfair, fraudulent, and deceptive marketing practices.

California

Ozempic & GLP-1 Drug Injury Claims

Millions of Americans have been prescribed GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro for diabetes management and weight loss — but a growing body of evidence now links them to severe gastrointestinal injuries that can permanently alter a person’s quality of life. As of early 2026, more than 3,000 lawsuits have been filed in a federal multidistrict litigation consolidating claims against GLP-1 drug manufacturers for failing to adequately warn patients and prescribers about the risks.

California

Roundup Weed Killer Cancer Claims

For decades, Roundup was marketed as a safe and effective way to control weeds — used by farmers, landscapers, groundskeepers, and homeowners across the country. Thousands of people who used Roundup regularly have been diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma and other cancers, and Bayer has paid approximately $11 billion in settlements to resolve nearly 100,000 cases with tens of thousands still pending.

California

PFAS Contamination Claims

PFAS chemicals are found in nonstick cookware, water-resistant clothing, firefighting foam, food packaging, and countless other everyday products — they are called “forever chemicals” because they do not break down in the environment or in the human body. Today, at least 45 percent of U.S. tap water contains one or more types of PFAS, and exposure has been linked to kidney, breast, pancreatic, prostate, and testicular cancers, liver damage, infertility, and thyroid disease.

Los Angeles, CA

Fire Insurance Claims

Surviving a wildfire is traumatic enough — but for many Los Angeles homeowners, the aftermath brings a second devastating blow: an insurance company that refuses to honor its promises. California law prohibits insurers from engaging in unfair claims settlement practices, and when an insurer unreasonably delays, denies, or underpays a claim, it may be liable for damages well beyond the original policy amount.

Los Angeles, CA

Environmental Toxic Tort Claims

When corporations, utilities, or government agencies release toxic substances that harm people’s health and property, the law provides a path to accountability — environmental toxic tort claims exist to ensure that the burden of contamination falls on those who caused it, not on the people who suffer from it. These cases can involve industrial chemicals in groundwater, airborne pollutants from factories, hazardous waste from landfills, and contamination from oil spills, gas leaks, and pipeline failures.

Los Angeles, CA

FAIR Plan Claims

The California FAIR Plan was created as a safety net for homeowners who could not find coverage in the private insurance market — but when disaster strikes, many policyholders are discovering that the FAIR Plan is failing them too. The California Department of Insurance has found at least 418 violations of consumer protection laws related to the FAIR Plan’s claims handling practices, and class action lawsuits have been filed in both Alameda and Los Angeles Counties.

Los Angeles, CA

Depo-Provera Brain Tumor Claims

A large-scale study involving over 10 million women found that long-term Depo-Provera users face a 2.45-fold increased risk of developing meningiomas — brain tumors that can cause headaches, vision changes, seizures, and cognitive impairment requiring surgery or radiation. In December 2025, the FDA approved a new warning label acknowledging the meningioma risk, and more than 1,750 cases are now pending in a federal multidistrict litigation.

Los Angeles, CA

Wildfire Litigation

Many of California’s most destructive fires have been traced to preventable causes — aging power lines that were not properly maintained, vegetation that was not cleared, and decisions to keep lines energized during extreme fire weather. California’s inverse condemnation doctrine holds utilities strictly liable for fire damage caused by their equipment even without proof of negligence, and wildfire victims may recover for property loss, health effects, psychological trauma, and lost income.

Los Angeles, CA

Tylenol & Acetaminophen Autism Claims

Multiple peer-reviewed studies have identified a statistical association between acetaminophen use during pregnancy and neurodevelopmental disorders in children, including autism spectrum disorder and ADHD. The FDA announced it would begin adding pregnancy-specific warnings to all acetaminophen products, and federal health authorities issued guidance in September 2025 advising against acetaminophen use during pregnancy when possible.

Los Angeles, CA

Hernia Mesh Injury Claims

Defective hernia mesh products have been linked to chronic pain, antibiotic-resistant infections, bowel obstructions, and mesh migration — complications that can be more debilitating than the original hernia. As of early 2026, more than 26,000 hernia mesh lawsuits are pending across multiple federal multidistrict litigations against manufacturers including Atrium, Covidien, C.R. Bard, and Ethicon.

Los Angeles, CA

Hair Relaxer Cancer Claims

Scientific research has established a connection between long-term use of chemical hair relaxers and significantly increased rates of uterine cancer, ovarian cancer, and endometrial cancer — the chemicals in these products, including formaldehyde and phthalates, can be absorbed through the scalp and disrupt the body’s hormonal balance. The litigation has grown to nearly 11,000 lawsuits consolidated in a federal MDL against companies including L’Oréal, SoftSheen-Carson, and Revlon.

Los Angeles, CA

Paragard IUD Injury Claims

Reports of the Paragard IUD breaking apart during removal have led to thousands of injury claims — when the device fractures, broken copper arms can embed in uterine tissue, perforate the uterine wall, migrate to other organs, and in some cases necessitate hysterectomy, leaving women permanently unable to have children. As of early 2026, nearly 4,000 claims are pending in the federal Paragard MDL with the first bellwether trials underway.

Los Angeles, CA

Oxbryta Sickle Cell Drug Claims

Oxbryta was marketed as a breakthrough treatment for sickle cell disease — but patients who trusted it experienced the opposite: increased vaso-occlusive crises, more frequent hospitalizations, strokes, and in some cases death. In September 2024, Pfizer voluntarily withdrew Oxbryta from markets worldwide after concluding that the drug’s benefits did not outweigh its risks.

Los Angeles, CA

Bard PowerPort Catheter Claims

The Bard PowerPort catheter was one of the most commonly implanted port devices for chemotherapy patients — but barium sulfate in the device degrades the catheter over time, causing it to fracture and send fragments through the bloodstream that can cause blood clots, cardiac puncture, and organ lacerations. More than 2,500 cases are now active in federal litigation with bellwether trials scheduled to begin in April 2026.

Los Angeles, CA

Paraquat & Parkinson’s Disease

A growing body of scientific evidence links paraquat herbicide exposure to a significantly increased risk of Parkinson’s disease — research has found that individuals exposed to paraquat have a 25 percent higher chance of developing the disease, with risk increasing with duration and intensity of exposure. More than 6,400 lawsuits are consolidated in a federal MDL against Syngenta and Chevron, with a confidential settlement reached in April 2025.

Los Angeles, CA

BioZorb Implant Marker Claims

The BioZorb device was implanted in breast cancer patients during lumpectomies to mark the surgical site — but Hologic allegedly marketed it as a tissue filler for a use the FDA never approved, and patients reported severe pain, infections, device migration, and disfigurement. In 2024, the FDA issued a Class I recall — the most serious type — and over 120 patients have filed lawsuits with additional cases proceeding through the courts.

Los Angeles, CA

PPI Kidney Damage Claims

Long-term use of proton-pump inhibitors like Prilosec, Nexium, and Prevacid has been linked to a cascade of kidney problems — studies show PPI users face up to a 50 percent increased risk of chronic kidney disease compared to non-users, with the most severe cases advancing to end-stage renal disease requiring dialysis or transplant. More than 18,000 lawsuits have been filed against manufacturers, with a total settlement of approximately $590 million reached.

Los Angeles, CA

Talcum Powder Cancer Claims

Internal documents and laboratory testing have revealed that Johnson & Johnson’s talcum powder was contaminated with asbestos, and the company knew about it for decades — thousands of women who used the product have been diagnosed with ovarian cancer and mesothelioma. More than 90,000 lawsuits have been filed, with a $1.5 billion verdict awarded to a single mesothelioma victim in December 2025, and Johnson & Johnson’s three attempts to resolve the litigation through bankruptcy have all been rejected by the courts.

Los Angeles, CA

Valsartan Contamination Claims

Testing revealed that batches of valsartan blood pressure medication were contaminated with NDMA — a probable human carcinogen — at levels more than 200 times the acceptable safe limit, meaning patients were unknowingly ingesting a cancer-causing substance with every daily dose. More than 1,300 cases are pending in a federal MDL in New Jersey, targeting both the overseas manufacturers responsible for the contamination and the domestic companies that distributed the products.

Los Angeles, CA

AFFF Firefighting Foam Claims

Firefighters who used AFFF foam regularly now carry PFAS levels in their blood that are three times higher than the general population — and they are developing kidney, testicular, thyroid, prostate, and bladder cancers at alarming rates. More than 15,000 AFFF lawsuits are active in a federal MDL against manufacturers including 3M and DuPont, who have been accused of knowing about the health risks for decades and failing to warn users.

Los Angeles, CA

Terbutaline & Autism Claims

Terbutaline was never approved for use in preventing preterm labor, but for years obstetricians prescribed it off-label to pregnant women for weeks or months at a time — research has since linked this off-label use to autism spectrum disorder and other neurodevelopmental conditions in the children who were exposed in utero. One study found that mothers who took terbutaline continuously for two or more weeks were twice as likely to have children both diagnosed with autism, pointing to the drug rather than genetics as the driving factor.
