Who qualifies for the social media harm lawsuit?
You may qualify if a child or teen used social media heavily and developed depression, anxiety, an eating disorder, self-harm behavior, or attempted suicide, with the harm beginning while they were a minor.
Is it too late to file a social media harm claim?
The social media harm litigation is active and accepting new claims as of 2026, but every claim has a filing deadline (statute of limitations) that varies by state and by when the injury was discovered. Because missing the deadline can permanently bar a claim, it is best to have your situation reviewed as soon as possible.
How much does it cost to have my case reviewed?
Nothing. Having Omid review your case is free and confidential, and these claims are handled on a contingency-fee basis, so you pay no fee unless compensation is recovered. Depending on the complexity of your case, it may be referred with your approval to a firm with the national resources to handle it, and that same no-fee promise still applies.
