Unlike other law firms that handle a variety of plaintiff litigation cases with a group dedicated to social media issues, our firm was founded by Matthew P. Bergman with a singular purpose: to hold these companies accountable. We are committed to pursuing justice relentlessly until these companies are forced to make safer products for kids.

FAQs About SMVLC
How Much Does It Cost to Hire a Lawyer at SMVLC?
We only handle cases on a contingent fee basis. This means that we are paid a portion of any recovery obtained in the case and you do not owe us any attorneys’ fees if the lawsuit does not result in a recovery.
How Long Do Families Have to File a Social Media Addiction or AI Harm Claim?
The time each family has to file a claim depends on their state’s statute of limitations, which is typically around two years but can vary. It’s not always straightforward, as many states have exceptions, especially in cases involving fraud or concealment by a company. Some claims may also be extended if the cause of harm wasn’t immediately discoverable. The key takeaway is not to wait—while the general timeframe is one to three years, these cases are unique. The most important step is to reach out so we can assess your case and guide you through the process.
Who is Eligible to File a Social Media Addiction Lawsuit?
In general, If you were born after the year 2000 and experienced harm or mental health issues from social media addiction after 2012, you may be eligible to file a lawsuit. However, eligibility also depends on the specifics of each case.
How Do I Know if I Have a Case?
Every case is unique. Our attorneys will work with your family to evaluate your potential case and help you evaluate whether filing a lawsuit or other legal proceeding is in your family’s best interest. Generally speaking, the types of cases we handle involve serious mental health effects, including attempted or completed suicide, eating disorders, inpatient mental health treatment, or sexual trafficking/exploitation that was caused by or contributed to through addictive or problematic social media use by teens and young adults.
