Across Kansas, from the Johnson County suburbs and Wichita to Topeka, Lawrence, Manhattan and the small towns of the western plains, parents are asking hard questions about what TikTok, Instagram and Snapchat have done to their children. Some are facing eating disorders or self-harm; others are watching a once-outgoing teen disappear into a screen.
We represent Kansas families without any need to travel. Our team meets by phone or video, and we will come to your home when it helps. Cases go to the coordinated federal litigation, MDL 3047 in the Northern District of California, or to the appropriate state court, and we partner with Kansas-licensed counsel where required. Families at Fort Riley and McConnell Air Force Base are welcome to call.
How a TikTok Lawsuit Works for Kansas Families
Lawsuits against TikTok claim the company designed its app to keep kids hooked — through the endless For You feed, autoplay, constant notifications and appearance filters — while offering weak age checks and parental controls, and without warning families about risks its own research identified. Learn how TikTok's design hooks kids.
Most personal injury cases are filed in, or transferred to, the federal multidistrict litigation in the Northern District of California (MDL No. 3047), where pretrial matters are handled together. Federal courts in Kansas include the U.S. District Court for the District of Kansas. Some cases are better suited to state court. We'll explain the options for your family.
