Video Game Addiction Lawsuit Attorney

In order to file an internet gaming disorder claim, you must:

• Be an individual 22 years or younger with video game addiction, or a parent or legal guardian acting on a minor’s behalf
• Have a formal, medical diagnosis of Internet Gaming Disorder based on DSM-5 criteria
• Documented psychological, physical, academic, and/or financial harm due to gaming addiction

Gordon & Partners Law Firm may be able to help you file a claim if you can prove heavy use of Fortnite, Roblox, or Minecraft and have evidence of associated harm.

We are not currently accepting clients with adult-onset gaming addiction issues or those without damages, a lack of documented impairment, or a willingness to share relevant records. If you are not sure if you qualify for a video game addiction lawsuit, contact us for a free, no-obligation case review.

If California JCCP No. 5363 proceeds, successful claims will require ample evidence to show a connection between a game developer’s practices and the development of IGD and damages.

The following game developers are mentioned in the JCCP video game addiction lawsuit consolidation:

• Fortnite: Fortnite addiction lawsuit claims allege harm due to manipulative design aspects aimed at children, such as microtransactions, time-limited events, and daily rewards.
• Roblox and Minecraft: Allegations of addictive user-generated content systems, social interaction loops, and predatory spending patterns.

Other companies noted in video game addiction claims include Call of Duty, Grand Theft Auto, Rainbow Six, and Battlefield.

California JCCP No. 5363, the consolidated manipulative game design lawsuit, is already established, and a coordinated judge has been assigned in Los Angeles. Add-on cases are pending, with progress depending on the judge’s decision regarding developer liability for video game addiction.

Other legal avenues are also being pursued. This includes consumer protection actions like FTC/Epic Games refunds, which are separate from video game injury lawsuits. There are also those pursuing individual lawsuits against game companies. These lawsuits have mixed outcomes and are often complicated by user agreements in games that force disputes into arbitration instead of the courtroom.

Information on video game addiction settlement amounts is not available at this time, and no global settlements have been announced. Outcomes in gaming addiction lawsuits will depend on liability status, venue, and strength of evidence, and could eventually cover both monetary and non-monetary damages.
