Mass Torts

Mass Torts


When massive corporations prioritize profits over public safety, the consequences for individuals and families are often devastating. Whether it’s a pharmaceutical giant hiding dangerous side effects, a tech company exploiting the mental health of our youth, or industrial manufacturers exposing workers to toxic chemicals, Brent Coon & Associates (BCA) stands ready to hold them accountable.

Our firm was founded on the principle of providing a “level playing field” for those who have been wronged. We don’t just settle cases; we prepare every case for trial, ensuring that the most powerful entities in the world answer for the harm they cause. Below, explore the current litigation areas where our team is actively fighting for the rights of victims nationwide.

Video Game Addiction

The Issue: Major game developers (like those behind Roblox, Fortnite, and Minecraft) are being accused of intentionally designing games with “predatory” mechanics to hook young players.

Common Impacts:

  • Diagnosed Internet Gaming Disorder (IGD)
  • Severe academic or social withdrawal
  • Physical and mental health decline (anxiety, depression, “gamer rage”)
  • Financial loss from unchecked in-game microtransactions

We represent families of minors and young adults who have suffered significant life disruptions due to addictive game design. If your child’s health or education has been compromised, you may be eligible for compensation for medical costs and emotional distress.

Social Media Addiction

The Issue: Platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and Snapchat are under fire for using “infinite scroll” and engagement algorithms that exploit the developing brains of children and teens.

Associated Risks:

  • Eating disorders and body dysmorphia
  • Self-harm or suicidal ideation
  • Severe depression and anxiety
  • Sleep deprivation and behavioral changes

Tech giants have allegedly ignored internal warnings about the harm their products cause to minors. We fight to hold these platforms accountable for prioritizing profits over the mental health of our youth.

Sports Betting Apps

The Issue: The rapid expansion of mobile betting apps (DraftKings, FanDuel, BetMGM) has led to predatory targeting of “problem gamblers” and young adults.

Key Allegations:

  • Using “risk-free” bait-and-switch promotions
  • Targeted VIP programs for those showing signs of addiction
  • Exploiting neurological reward systems through aggressive push notifications

If you or a loved one suffered devastating financial losses or mental health crises due to deceptive sports betting practices, we can help you seek a recovery of those losses and damages for the emotional toll.

PFAS / AFFF (“Forever Chemicals”)

The Issue: Aqueous Film-Forming Foam (AFFF) used in firefighting contains toxic PFAS. These “forever chemicals” do not break down and have contaminated water sources near military bases and airports.

Linked Conditions:

  • Kidney, Testicular, and Liver Cancer
  • Thyroid disease and Ulcerative Colitis
  • Preeclampsia or low birth weight

BCA is already active in PFAS litigation. We cover all upfront costs to verify the link between your exposure and diagnosis. You owe nothing unless we win your case.

Roblox Sex Abuse

Lawsuits allege that Roblox failed to implement basic safety barriers, allowing predators to groom and exploit children through in-game chat and user-generated “condo” games.

Lack of effective age verification and delayed moderation often allowed abuse to move from the game to other platforms like Discord or Snapchat.

We provide compassionate, confidential, and trauma-informed representation for families. We seek justice for the emotional trauma, therapy expenses, and pain caused by these corporate safety failures.

Asbestos & Lung Cancer

For decades, companies knew asbestos was a carcinogen but failed to warn workers. Exposure often occurs on the job in refineries, shipyards, and construction sites.

Common Diagnoses:

  • Mesothelioma (pleural, peritoneal, or pericardial)
  • Asbestosis and Lung Cancer
  • Secondary exposure (family members breathing fibers from work clothes)

Brent Coon & Associates has a long history of obtaining million-dollar verdicts for asbestos victims. We stand with industrial workers and their families to recover the compensation they deserve.

Roundup (Glyphosate)

The active ingredient in Roundup, glyphosate, has been classified as a “probable human carcinogen” linked to blood cancers.

Affected Groups:

  • Landscapers and agricultural workers
  • Garden center employees and home gardeners
  • School and park maintenance staff

We represent individuals diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma or Multiple Myeloma after long-term Roundup use. Thousands of claims have already resulted in billions in settlements; we ensure your claim is filed correctly and aggressively.

Ozempic / GLP-1 Receptor Agonists

While effective for diabetes and weight loss, drugs like Ozempic, Mounjaro, and Wegovy have been linked to severe gastrointestinal injuries not adequately disclosed on labels.

Serious Side Effects:

  • Gastroparesis (Stomach Paralysis)
  • Chronic vomiting or “Frozen Stomach”
  • Bowel obstructions and Intestinal blockages

If you used these GLP-1 medications and suffered a permanent or severe stomach injury, you may qualify for a lawsuit against the manufacturers for failure to warn of these life-altering risks.

Tax Assessment Appeals

Many commercial property owners are facing “flawed” valuation methodologies from appraisal districts, resulting in tax burdens that are significantly higher than the property’s actual value.

We challenged our own office building’s assessment when it quadrupled, and we won. Now, we use that experience to help other business owners.

We work on a contingency basis—we only take a portion of the savings we secure for you. If we don’t lower your taxes, you don’t pay us a dime.

At Brent Coon & Associates, we handle all mass tort litigation matters on a “Win-Win” basis. We cover all upfront costs, and we only get paid if we win your case.
