What the Consultation Covers<\/h2>\n

A consultation is a free, confidential first conversation with a lawyer. The lawyer listens to your child’s story. The lawyer reviews what you have. Then the lawyer explains what the lawsuits allege.<\/p>\n

These lawsuits allege that social media platforms were designed to be addictive. They also allege that this design contributed to serious mental-health harm in children and teens. The harm described includes depression, anxiety, eating disorders, self-harm, and suicide attempts.<\/p>\n

These are allegations, not proven facts. Courts have not finally resolved every such claim. The outcome depends on the facts of each case.<\/p>\n

Research gives context. The HHS report on social media<\/a> reports an observed association between heavy social-media use and increased risks of depression and anxiety. That report does not establish legal liability.<\/p>\n

This guide is written for parents and guardians of a minor who has suffered serious mental-health harm. The firm focuses on personal injury cases of every severity. Some mass-tort matters may be referred to another law firm or handled together with one, depending on the case.<\/p>\n

Igor Hernandez is the responsible lawyer for this page. The firm serves families throughout Florida, including Miami, Orlando, Tampa, and Jacksonville.<\/p>\n

Medical and Mental-Health Records<\/h2>\n

Medical records are the core of any discussion about your child’s health. They show the diagnosis, the treatment, and the dates. Gather these first:<\/p>\n
