Case Overview

What Happened

The Social Media Mental Health Harm case involves serious harm caused by negligence or corporate wrongdoing. Our legal team is investigating claims on behalf of affected individuals.

Who Is Affected

Individuals, families, and businesses who suffered damages may be eligible to pursue compensation through this coordinated legal action.

Why It Matters Legally

Holding responsible parties accountable requires aggressive legal representation. Our attorneys are building cases to secure maximum compensation for victims.

Lawsuits allege that Meta (Instagram, Facebook), TikTok, Snap, and YouTube engineered their platforms to be addictive to young users and concealed internal research showing the platforms harmed teen mental health. Families and young adults allege injuries including anxiety, depression, eating disorders, self-harm, and suicidal behavior connected to compulsive platform use. Keosian Law LLP is reviewing claims on two tracks: parents pursuing claims for a minor, and young adults pursuing claims for themselves. The review is free, confidential, and investigative; no outcome is guaranteed.

The Core Allegations

Thousands of families, school districts, and state attorneys general have filed suits alleging that social media companies designed their products to maximize the time young people spend on them, using features such as infinite scroll, autoplay, algorithmic recommendation feeds, streaks, and persistent notifications. The lawsuits allege the companies were aware of internal research linking heavy use to mental-health harm in teens and failed to warn users or parents, or to provide effective safeguards.

Signs of Harm

Families often describe withdrawal from friends and activities, disrupted sleep, declining grades, compulsive checking, distress when separated from a phone, and the emergence of anxiety, depression, disordered eating, or self-harm. A review focuses on whether a diagnosis or treatment followed a period of heavy platform use.

What to Gather

Useful information includes which platforms were used and for how long, approximate daily usage, the age when use began, and records from counselors, therapists, doctors, or hospitals. Screenshots of screen-time reports can also help. If a young person is in crisis, call or text 988 first. Keosian Law LLP's review is confidential and investigative, and no outcome is guaranteed.
