April 2022: The MDL Paraquat class action judge will have a status conference on April 1st to review where the litigation is headed and how best to take the bellwether lawsuits forward for trial in November 2022. 44 new paraquat lawsuits have been added to the MDL in the last two weeks. At this pace, April 2022 will be the busiest month for new files yet. Last week, the parties filed their class-action bellwether picks with the Paraquat MDL judge. Those choices, however, have not been made public.
May 2022: In the last month, over 50 new cases have been added to the Paraquat Lawsuit Multidistrict Litigation (MDL). A group of six patients was recently selected by the Paraquat MDL court for the initial Paraquat Parkinson's disease bellwether trials. As a result, the first trial in November 2022 is approaching soon. The strategy is to select 16 paraquat claims from among the almost 1000 Parkinson's disease litigation claims filed. Following some limited fact discovery in these instances, paraquat attorneys on both sides submitted a preference list to the MDL court, ranking the 16 cases in order of priority. Attorneys for plaintiffs seek the finest facts for their clients, while defense attorneys want the worst. The judge whittled the list down to six Paraquat claims based on these rankings.

Millions Recovered
Michigan lawmakers introduced bipartisan legislation to give sexual abuse victims more time to sue for damages, expanding the civil statute of limitations from age 28 to 52 and allowing a two-year window for retroactive lawsuits. The measures would allow victims to pursue lawsuits previously barred by time limits. Government entities could not claim immunity if they failed to act on prior misconduct. Vermont, Maine, and Maryland have already removed such limits. The push follows decades-old abuse reports, including convictions of Catholic clergy and Larry Nassar, a former Michigan State doctor. The legislation also proposes a "Survivors Bill of Rights" to ensure access to advocates, counselors, and legal support.

We are dedicated to helping individuals who have suffered sexual abuse during prison visits. We understand the unique emotional, legal, and financial struggles that come with these traumatic events. Our compassionate team is here to support you every step of the way, ensuring that your rights are protected and your voice is heard.

Dog Bite Injury Claims

Justice for El Monte Survivors
Help for Chicago Survivors
You were bitten or attacked in California (public place or while lawfully on private property)
The incident happened within the last 2 years (in many cases)
You needed medical care, missed work, or have scarring, nerve damage, infection, or emotional distress
The dog owner (or another responsible party) can be identified
A dog bite can leave more than puncture wounds—it can mean ER visits, surgery, infection risk, permanent scarring, and lasting trauma. If you or your child were bitten or attacked in California within the last two years, you may still be within the legal deadline to pursue compensation.
Deep puncture wounds and lacerations
Infections (including complications requiring IV antibiotics or hospitalization)
Nerve, tendon, or ligament damage (often hands/arms)
Facial injuries and permanent scarring
Fractures or crush injuries (especially in attacks/knockdowns)
Plastic or reconstructive surgery needs
Psychological injuries (anxiety, nightmares, PTSD—especially in children)
Wrongful death (in the most severe cases)
Dog attacks are far more common than most people realize, with more than 4.5 million people bitten each year in the U.S. and more than 800,000 needing medical attention. Beyond the physical harm, the financial impact is significant—insurance data shows dog-related injury claim payouts reached about $1.57 billion in 2024 across 22,658 claims, and the average cost per dog bite or dog-related injury claim rose to $69,272 in 2024 (up from $58,545 in 2023). California led the nation with 2,417 claims in 2024, and dog attacks also affect workers—USPS reported more than 6,000 attacks on Postal Service employees in 2024. While these figures help show the scale of the problem, “average claim cost” is not a guaranteed payout in any individual case, and the value of a California dog bite claim depends on the specific facts, including medical documentation, scarring, wage loss, the severity and location of injuries (especially to the face or hands), and expected future care needs.
California is one of the strongest states for dog-bite victims. Under California Civil Code § 3342, a dog owner is generally liable for damages if their dog bites someone who is in a public place or lawfully in a private place—even if the dog never bit anyone before.
You may have a case if:
Even if the dog belonged to a friend, neighbor, or family member, the claim is often made through homeowners/renters insurance—not “out of pocket.”
