Nebraska parents in Omaha and Lincoln, in Grand Island, Kearney and North Platte, and in farm towns along the Platte have watched TikTok, Snapchat and Instagram reshape their children's days. For some, the change was more than annoying screen time. It meant sleepless nights, withdrawal from friends and family, and a slide into serious mental-health problems.
Working with our firm does not mean a trip to a city office. We meet Nebraska families by phone and video, and we are glad to come to you. Cases are filed in MDL 3047, the coordinated federal litigation in the Northern District of California, or in the appropriate state court, with Nebraska-licensed counsel where required. Families at Offutt Air Force Base are welcome to reach out.
TikTok and social media litigation in Nebraska
Nebraska’s Attorney General sued TikTok; the complaint quotes an internal document saying “compulsive usage on TikTok is rampant.”
How a TikTok Lawsuit Works for Nebraska 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 Nebraska include the U.S. District Court for the District of Nebraska. Some cases are better suited to state court. We'll explain the options for your family.
