Social Media Litigation
Platforms engineered to keep young users scrolling have been linked to depression, anxiety, eating disorders and self-harm. If your child was harmed, you may have the right to hold these companies accountable.
Social media companies spend billions designing features that capture attention — endless feeds, autoplay, push notifications, "likes," streaks and beauty filters. For children and teenagers, whose brains are still developing, these features can create compulsive use patterns that look a lot like addiction. Thousands of families across the country have filed lawsuits alleging that the companies behind these platforms knew about the risks to young users and failed to warn parents or make their products safer.
At Wiss Law Firm, we help Long Island and New York families understand whether their child's injuries may be connected to social media use, and we fight to recover compensation for the treatment, recovery and long-term care their child needs.
Why Choose Wiss Law Firm
Product Liability Experience. Social media cases are product cases at their core — they focus on how an app was designed and what the company knew. Our team knows how to build claims around defective design and failure to warn.
Compassion for Families. These cases involve children and some of the hardest moments a family can face. We handle every conversation with discretion, patience and respect for your privacy.
No Fee Unless We Win. You pay nothing up front. We advance the costs of your case and are only paid if we secure compensation for your family.
