Why We Built This
The question nobody
was answering.
When something devastating happens — a cancer diagnosis, a child who changed overnight, an injury that altered your life — the first thing most people feel is confusion.
Every attorney website skips this moment entirely. They go straight to compensation, free consultations, legal jargon. They miss the most important thing you need to hear first.
About LawsuitWatch.ai. LawsuitWatch.ai is an independent investigative publication tracking more than 100 active mass tort lawsuits in the United States — covering pharmaceuticals, medical devices, social media and gaming platforms, sports-betting apps, institutional abuse, and environmental contamination. We are published by the LawsuitWatch.ai Editorial Team and operated by Mass Tort Ad Agency, a plaintiff-side legal marketing firm. Mass Tort Ad Agency earns a referral fee when a reader chooses to be connected with an attorney; that referral business is kept strictly separate from editorial work, and no company, law firm, or advertiser pays for, reviews, or influences which cases we cover or what our investigations conclude. We are not a law firm and we do not provide legal advice.
This was not your fault. A company knew what their product could do to you. They had the data. They made a choice. That choice had your name on it.
We track every major lawsuit so that when the truth comes out — and it always does — you are the first to know.
How We Report
Editorial standards.
Primary sources only
Every investigation is built from court records — MDL and JCCP dockets, bankruptcy filings, and complaints — alongside internal company research disclosed in litigation, FDA and other regulatory records, congressional testimony, and peer-reviewed studies. The specific docket or filing is cited on each case.
What we will not do
We do not invent statistics, fabricate quotes, or assert that a lawsuit exists where it does not. Where a federal MDL has been requested but denied — as with video game addiction — we say so plainly. Marketing language is kept separate from the factual record.
Updates & corrections
We run weekly docket checks against federal records on PACER and state coordinated-proceeding portals, including the California JCCP e-filing system, and update tracked cases as their status changes. One change already reflected here: in December 2025 the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation declined to create a federal MDL for the video game addiction cases, so we corrected that case to point to its California JCCP No. 5363 coordinated proceeding instead. Found something wrong? Tell us and we will fix it. Every page shows when it was last reviewed.
How It Works
From question to answer
in four steps.
No pressure. No obligation. Just clarity on where you stand.
Find the docket
Look up the case by its MDL or JCCP number — each case page lists it. Federal cases are searchable on PACER (pacer.uscourts.gov); California coordinated proceedings are on the Los Angeles Superior Court e-filing portal. You can also start by searching your diagnosis or product here.
Public records, free to search
Read the master complaint
Open the master complaint and the internal documents disclosed in the litigation to see what the company knew and when. Our investigation for each case summarizes these filings in plain language and cites the docket.
The documented record
Check the plaintiff criteria
Compare your diagnosis, timeframe, and product or platform use against the eligibility criteria set out in the complaint. This tells you whether your situation fits the case — before you talk to anyone.
Decide for yourself first
Connect with counsel (optional)
If your situation matches and you choose to pursue a claim, we can connect you with an attorney handling that litigation. This step is entirely optional and free; these cases are handled on contingency.
Optional, no upfront cost
