You talk with a Florida personal injury lawyer about a child or teen who has been seriously harmed. The conversation helps your family learn whether a claim may exist.<\/p>\n<p>Lawsuits in this area allege that social media platforms were designed to be addictive. They also allege that this design added to serious mental-health harm in young users. These are allegations. They are not proven facts.<\/p>\n<p>You can have this conversation in English or Spanish.<\/p>\n<h2>What a Free Social Media Addiction Consultation Is and Who It Is For<\/h2>\n<p>A free social media addiction consultation is a first conversation. It costs nothing. It asks whether your child&#8217;s harm may connect to social media use. It is confidential. You have no obligation to continue afterward.<\/p>\n<p>It is meant for parents and guardians of a Florida child or teen who has had serious changes, such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Depression or anxiety that started or got worse during heavy app or phone use<\/li>\n<li>Eating disorders, self-harm, or suicidal thoughts<\/li>\n<li>Lost sleep, falling grades, or pulling away from family and friends<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The call is a conversation, not a promise. It helps you learn whether a claim may exist. It does not decide the result of any case.<\/p>\n<p>CHG Personal Injury Lawyers is a Florida-based personal injury firm. We serve families throughout Florida, including Miami, Orlando, Tampa, and Jacksonville. Igor Hernandez is the responsible lawyer for this page. The consultation is offered in English and Spanish (consulta inicial gratuita, confidencial y sin compromiso).<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"cta-dose-mid wp-block-group has-base-color has-accent-background-color has-text-color has-background has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-32197852 wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"background-color:var(--wp--preset--color--accent,#20242e);color:var(--wp--preset--color--base,#ffffff);border-radius:8px;padding-top:1.5rem;padding-bottom:1.5rem;padding-left:1.5rem;padding-right:1.5rem;border-left:6px solid var(--wp--preset--color--cta,currentColor);box-shadow:0 2px 10px rgba(0,0,0,0.18)\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If your teen&#x27;s mood, sleep, or school has changed and you wonder whether social media plays a part, our team invites you to talk with us in a free, confidential consultation.

These facts help shape whether a claim may exist.<\/p>\n<p>We look at three things:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Basic history:<\/strong> your teen&#8217;s age, the apps they use, about how much they use them each day, and how that use has changed over time.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Timeline:<\/strong> when you first noticed changes in mood, sleep, school, friendships, or eating.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Records:<\/strong> diagnoses, counselor notes, and school reports you already have. Your child&#8217;s care should keep following the advice of their doctors.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hhs.gov\/surgeongeneral\/reports-and-publications\/youth-mental-health\/social-media\/index.html\">U.S. Surgeon General report<\/a> describes an observed association between heavy social media use and higher risks of depression and anxiety. An association means the two appear together. It is not proof that a platform caused harm. It does not establish legal liability.<\/p>\n<p>The lawsuits&#8217; core allegations are that platforms were designed to be addictive. They also allege that this design harmed young users. These are claims made in lawsuits. They are not findings of fact.<\/p>\n<p><strong>If your child may be in crisis or talking about suicide, call or text 988 Suicide &amp; Crisis Lifeline (988) right away.<\/strong> The consultation does not replace emergency or medical care.<\/p>\n<h2>What to Bring and How the Consultation Works, Step by Step<\/h2>\n<p>Bring a short written timeline, a list of the apps your child uses, and any records you have. Then contact the firm by phone or through the bilingual online form.<\/p>\n<p>Before you call, gather:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A timeline of changes you noticed, with approximate dates<\/li>\n<li>The platforms your child uses and roughly how much time they spend on them<\/li>\n<li>Names of treating doctors, counselors, and school staff<\/li>\n<li>Medical and school documents you already have<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The steps look like this:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Contact the firm.<\/strong> Call or use the bilingual form. Spanish-speaking families can ask for Spanish-language help.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Intake conversation.<\/strong> We confirm the basic facts and answer your first questions.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Review.<\/strong> We look at whether a Florida claim may exist. A time limit is a deadline for filing a case. Contact the firm promptly. Do not assume you have time.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Next steps.<\/strong> We explain your options clearly. The firm may handle a matter itself. It may handle the matter together with another law firm. It may also refer the matter to another lawyer.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>The firm charges no attorney&#8217;s fees and no case costs unless there is a recovery.<\/p>\n<h2>What These Lawsuits Allege and What a Florida Case Can Involve<\/h2>\n<p>Families allege that social media platforms were designed to keep young users engaged. They allege this design contributed to serious mental-health harm. Courts examine those allegations. The courts have not established them as facts.<\/p>\n<p>In federal court, the U.S. Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation (a panel that groups similar federal cases) centralized social media adolescent addiction cases in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jpml.uscourts.gov\/sites\/jpml\/files\/MDL-3047-Transfer_Order-3-25.pdf\">MDL-3047<\/a>. The panel&#8217;s order records plaintiffs&#8217; allegations. Those allegations say platforms were designed to encourage addictive behavior and failed to warn about harm to minors. As of that transfer order, these cases are consolidated, meaning combined, in one federal proceeding.<\/p>\n<p>CHG Personal Injury Lawyers is not lead counsel in that litigation. Cases like these may be referred to another law firm. They may also be handled together with one.<\/p>\n<p>A Florida case can involve gathering records, reviewing your child&#8217;s history, and working through the court process. Florida also uses <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leg.state.fl.us\/statutes\/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&amp;URL=0700-0799\/0768\/Sections\/0768.81.html\">comparative fault<\/a> rules. Comparative fault means each party&#8217;s share of blame is weighed. A lawyer reviews how that rule could apply to the facts. No settlement, amount, or timeline can be promised in advance.<\/p>\n<h2>Why Florida Parents Contact CHG Personal Injury Lawyers<\/h2>\n<p>CHG Personal Injury Lawyers is a Florida-based personal injury firm.
