Experienced Social Media Addiction Lawyers Representing Families Nationwide
To date, the Social Media Addiction Lawyers at Gibbs Mura LLP represent over 500 families seeking accountability from social media companies for the harm caused to children and teens.
Families can file a lawsuit to seek compensation for the emotional, medical, and financial impact of social media addiction on their children.
Our experienced legal team is committed to providing compassionate, trauma-informed guidance at every step, so your family feels supported and informed throughout the fight of holding social media companies accountable.
How Our Social Media Addiction Lawyers Are Helping Families
Our attorneys currently represent children and families in lawsuits in federal and state court against Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Snap, and YouTube.
When these companies tried to have the lawsuits dismissed, claiming they couldn’t be held responsible, our firm helped fight back and won. Federal and state judges agreed, allowing the cases to move forward.
Our social media addiction lawyers are leading the fight in the nationwide lawsuit.
Our lead attorney, Andre Mura, was appointed by the Court to serve in the Plaintiffs’ Steering Committee leadership, a group of trusted attorneys chosen to help lead the social media addiction case for all families nationwide, not just their own clients.
This committee helps manage large, complex lawsuits and handles major responsibilities such as legal strategy, court filings, and overseeing evidence collection related to TikTok.
