Social media platforms can cause serious harm to children and teens
Keller Rohrback is investigating claims on behalf of individuals who experienced serious harm associated with problematic, excessive, or addictive social media use that began before they turned 18, including individuals currently under the age of 18 as well as adults whose problematic social media use began during childhood or adolescence.
Social media has become a major part of everyday life for children and teenagers. But research and ongoing litigation have raised serious concerns about whether social media platforms are designed in ways that contribute to addiction, mental health problems, exploitation, and other serious harms to young people.
If you or your child were under 18 and were diagnosed by a doctor or mental health professional with a serious physical or psychological condition—such as an eating disorder, body dysmorphia, severe depression or anxiety, self-harm, suicidal thoughts or attempts, or other serious harm associated with problematic or excessive social media use—our attorneys would like to hear from you. The medical professional’s diagnosis may not need to expressly state that social media caused the condition to qualify.

Have you or has your child received treatment or a diagnosis?
We are particularly interested in hearing from individuals, or parents of children, whose social media use became excessive during childhood or adolescence and who sought treatment from a doctor or mental health professional for conditions such as depression, anxiety, an eating disorder, or another serious mental health condition after experiencing problematic or excessive social media use.
The medical professional’s diagnosis does not necessarily need to expressly state that social media caused the condition.
If you, while under the age of 18, or your child who is under the age of 18, have been diagnosed with a qualifying condition and you believe social media use may have contributed to the problem, our attorneys can review the available information to determine potential claims.
Social media platforms may include:
- Snapchat
- TikTok
- YouTube
- Other social media platforms
You or parents and legal guardians of children or adolescents can contact us today for a free, confidential case evaluation.

Social media companies are facing growing legal scrutiny.
Thousands of lawsuits have already been filed against social media companies, alleging that their platforms contributed to addiction and mental health injuries among children and teenagers.
On August 26, 2026, Meta agreed to a proposed settlement worth up to approximately $17.1 billion involving claims brought by state attorneys general concerning the design and safety of Facebook and Instagram. The agreement also includes new measures intended to protect children and teenagers on the platforms.
The settlement is separate from ongoing lawsuits brought by families seeking compensation for injuries they allege were caused by social media platforms.
