FAQs

No. Eating disorders are complex and often involve many contributing factors. You do not need to prove causation before speaking with us. The legal review looks at whether social-media platform design, algorithms, content exposure, or compulsive use may have contributed to the development, worsening, or persistence of the eating disorder.

In most instances there will likely be multiple causes that contributed to an eating disorder diagnosis. That does not automatically mean there is no legal claim against the social media companies. Many legal claims involve situations where more than one factor contributed to the harm.

Yes. Your inquiry will be handled confidentially and respectfully. Scheduling a consultation does not mean you are filing a lawsuit, sharing your story publicly, or making any immediate commitment.

No. There is no cost to speak with us. If we accept your case, our legal team works on a contingency-fee basis, which means we are paid only if there is a recovery.

The litigation involves claims related to major social-media platforms, including Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and Snapchat. Relevant facts may include which platforms were used, when use began, how frequently the platforms were used, and whether the user was exposed to appearance-focused, diet, fitness, body-checking, or eating-disorder-related content.

Potentially relevant diagnoses may include anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge-eating disorder, ARFID, OSFED, or other eating-disorder diagnoses. Treatment history may also be relevant, including outpatient therapy, intensive outpatient care, partial hospitalization, residential treatment, inpatient care, or hospitalization.

You are still eligible for review. Many potential claims involve people who are now adults but used social media before age 18. A confidential consultation can help determine whether your age, platform use, diagnosis, and treatment history may qualify.

You may still be able to have your situation reviewed. Timing matters, but you do not need to determine the legal deadline yourself before contacting us. We can ask about the timing of platform use, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment during the consultation.

This legal review is separate from medical or mental-health treatment. Recovery and medical care should always come first. This website does not provide medical advice and is not a substitute for care from qualified treatment providers.

If your situation appears to qualify and you would like to move forward, we will send you the necessary paperwork to join the lawsuit via Docusign, and then send you a Questionnaire to complete regarding your history. We will guide you through the process and answer your questions at every step. Even after joining, there is no commitment, and you can choose to withdraw from the lawsuit at any point.

No. Every case is different. Past results do not guarantee future outcomes. The facts of each case matter, including platform use, diagnosis, treatment history, timing, injuries, jury decisions, and legal issues.

Parents may schedule a consultation for a minor child or to discuss a child's history. Adult patients may schedule a consultation directly or have a parent schedule a consultation and then consult with the attorney. If you are unsure who should schedule, you may still contact us and we can help determine the appropriate next step.
