Was social media part of your eating disorder journey?
If you or your child developed an eating disorder after using Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, or Snapchat, you may have legal options.
Our team offers a confidential, no-cost consultation for families and individuals who want to understand whether they may qualify for claims involving social media harm.
Who may qualify?
-
are currently age 30 or younger
-
used social media before turning 18
-
were diagnosed with an eating disorder
-
received eating disorder treatment, such as therapy, IOP, PHP, residential care, inpatient care, or hospitalization
You don’t need to prove everything before talking with us
Eating disorders are complex and often have more than one contributing factor. You do not need to know whether social media contributed to the eating disorder before talking with us.
The legal review looks at whether platform design, recommendation algorithms, harmful content exposure, or compulsive use may have contributed to the development, worsening, or persistence of the eating disorder.
If you have wondered whether social media played a meaningful role, we are happy to talk with you privately.
A private and respectful process
-
Confidential
Your inquiry will be handled privately and respectfully. Eating disorder histories are deeply personal, and we understand the importance of privacy.
-
No pressure
A consultation does not require you to file a lawsuit, share your story publicly, or make any immediate decision.
-
Guided next steps
If your case appears to qualify, we will explain the process clearly and help you understand the next steps.
No upfront legal fees
There is no cost to speak with us. If we accept your case, our legal team works on a contingency-fee basis, which means we are paid only if there is a recovery.
