The claim alleges that the design of social media platforms contributed to that harm. If you&#8217;re a parent in Coral Springs or elsewhere in Florida, this page explains what these lawsuits allege, what to gather, and how the free first consultation works.<\/p>\n<h2>What a Social Media Addiction Lawsuit Is and Who It May Be For<\/h2>\n<p>A parent or family member may consider this kind of claim when a child or teen has suffered serious mental-health harm. The lawsuits describe harms such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Depression<\/li>\n<li>Anxiety<\/li>\n<li>Eating disorders<\/li>\n<li>Self-harm<\/li>\n<li>Suicide attempts<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The lawsuits claim that the platforms were built to keep young users coming back, and that this design added to the harm. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hhs.gov\/surgeongeneral\/reports-and-publications\/youth-mental-health\/social-media\/index.html\">U.S. Surgeon General&#8217;s advisory<\/a> reports an observed association between heavy social media use and increased risks of depression and anxiety. An association is not the same as legal liability, and the advisory does not establish liability. A <a href=\"https:\/\/pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/articles\/PMC10126400\/\">peer pressure study<\/a> of 830 participants found that peer pressure is associated with mobile social media addiction among adolescents.<\/p>\n<p><strong>If your child is in crisis or may hurt themselves, call or text 988 (the 988 Suicide &amp; Crisis Lifeline) now.<\/strong> Follow your child&#8217;s doctors&#8217; care, and seek emergency care when needed.<\/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, school, or health has changed, you don&#x27;t have to sort out the questions alone. Talk it through with our team &#8212; the first consultation is free, confidential, and carries no obligation.<\/p><div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\"><div class=\"wp-block-button chg-cta-call\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"tel:+17867514283\">Get a free consultation<\/a><\/div><div class=\"wp-block-button chg-cta-form\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/chglawyers.com\/contact-us\/\">Get a free consultation<\/a><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large has-custom-border\"><img src=\"https:\/\/chglawyers.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/a-teenager-in-a-hooded-sweatshirt-speaks-with-a-therapist-in-photo.jpg\" alt=\"A teenager in a hooded sweatshirt talks with a therapist in a modern, minimalist office.\" style=\"border-radius:8px;width:100%;aspect-ratio:16\/9;object-fit:cover\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"\/><\/figure>\n<h2>What the Lawsuits Allege, and What Is Still Unresolved<\/h2>\n<p>These lawsuits allege that social media platforms were designed to be addictive to young users. They also allege that the companies did not warn families about the risks. These are claims made in the lawsuits. They are not proven facts.<\/p>\n<p>Some claims in this area may be pooled in federal court. A matter may also be referred to, or handled together with, another law firm. We say so plainly, because you should know who may be involved in your family&#8217;s case. Our social media addiction lawsuits page explains the case type in more detail.<\/p>\n<p>Florida sets deadlines for filing lawsuits, and they can be short. The state&#8217;s time limits appear in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leg.state.fl.us\/statutes\/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&amp;URL=0000-0099\/0095\/Sections\/0095.11.html\">Florida Statutes \u00a7 95.11<\/a>. Do not wait to ask a lawyer. No one can promise you can still file, or that any amount will be recovered.<\/p>\n<h2>What to Gather Before Your Free Consultation<\/h2>\n<p>Gather what you already have before your first call. You don&#8217;t need every document to start the conversation.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Your child&#8217;s age, school, and the dates the harms began and changed.<\/li>\n<li>Treatment records you already hold, such as diagnoses, counselor or therapist notes, emergency visit paperwork, and prescribed treatment.<\/li>\n<li>School records or teacher emails about attendance, grades, or behavior.<\/li>\n<li>Screenshots, account names, and device details that show how and when your child used the platforms.<\/li>\n<li>Any messages your family sent to the platform.<\/li>\n<li>A short timeline in your own words, plus a list of questions to bring.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Keep original records unaltered, and don&#8217;t delete anything. Share records through the firm&#8217;s intake process rather than posting them online. A document checklist can help you organize them.<\/p>\n<h2>How the Free Consultation Works, Step by Step<\/h2>\n<p>The first consultation is free, confidential, and carries no obligation to continue. Here is what to expect:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Reach out.<\/strong> Call or use the firm&#8217;s contact form. A member of our team asks a few basic questions.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Talk with our lawyers.<\/strong> You describe your child&#8217;s situation and your concerns in a confidential conversation.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Review the records.<\/strong> The lawyers look at what you bring and explain how Florida law may apply, including deadlines.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Hear your options.<\/strong> You get clear choices in plain language, including whether a referral or shared handling with another firm may make sense.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>CHG charges no attorney&#8217;s fees and no case costs unless there is a recovery. You can read more on the free consultation page. In Spanish, the same offer reads: consulta inicial gratuita, confidencial y sin compromiso.<\/p>\n<h2>Why Families Contact CHG Personal Injury Lawyers<\/h2>\n<p>CHG Personal Injury Lawyers is a Florida-based personal injury firm.
