Law360 (subscription) has published an in-depth profile on Lieff Cabraser’s Product Liability Law practice group as part of the group’s recognition of the firm as a 2024 “Product Liability Law Practice Group of the Year.” The feature highlights the group’s leadership in high-profile mass tort and product liability litigation, including securing a $600 million settlement with Norfolk Southern over the 2023 East Palestine, Ohio train derailment and toxic leak, and ongoing litigation against major tech companies over social media addiction.
In the social media case, Lieff Cabraser serves as co-lead counsel representing plaintiffs in claims against Meta, Google, TikTok, and other platforms alleging that these companies intentionally design their platforms to be addictive, contributing to serious mental health issues among young users in particular. The group’s efforts helped plaintiffs successfully overcome multiple dismissal attempts, including obtaining a ruling from the court that social media platforms could be considered products for liability purposes.
