For decades, California farmworkers, agricultural laborers, and licensed applicators used the powerful herbicide paraquat to control weeds and desiccate crops.

Why Hernia Mesh Fails: A Guide to Defects

A hernia repair is one of the most common surgical procedures performed in the United States. For millions of people, it promises a return to a life free from pain and discomfort. A key component of modern hernia repair is surgical mesh, a medical device implanted to reinforce weakened tissue and prevent the hernia from recurring. While many procedures are successful, a significant number of patients experience devastating complications years later, not from the surgery itself, but from the very device meant to help them.

Thousands of lawsuits have been filed against the manufacturers of hernia mesh, alleging that these products are defectively designed and are causing catastrophic injuries. At Walch Law, we have seen the life-altering consequences of these failed medical devices. If you or a loved one has suffered after a hernia repair, understanding how and why the mesh can fail is the first step toward seeking justice. Ready to get the justice you deserve?

Big Tech on Trial: What Social Media Lawsuits Mean for Gaming

For years, parents have watched with growing concern as their children become consumed by digital worlds. Whether it’s the endless scroll of an Instagram feed or one more round of Fortnite, the magnetic pull of screens is a defining feature of modern childhood. While concerns about “screen time” have often been dismissed as a parenting issue, a new legal battle is challenging that narrative, and it’s putting some of the most powerful companies in the world in the hot seat.

Recently, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg was forced to testify in a landmark trial over allegations that products like Facebook and Instagram were intentionally engineered to be addictive and harmful to young users.

The Battle Against Big Tech: Child Gaming Addiction Lawsuits

Video games have evolved from a simple pastime into a multi-billion dollar industry. For children and teenagers, games like Fortnite, Call of Duty, and Roblox are more than just entertainment; they are vast social platforms. While many kids enjoy gaming in moderation, a growing number of parents are watching in horror as their children descend into a state of compulsion, sacrificing sleep, schoolwork, and their mental health for one more level or one more match. Child video game addiction is real.

For years, this has been framed as a personal or parenting issue. Now, a new legal frontier is opening up. Lawsuits are being filed against major video game companies, including Activision Blizzard, Epic Games, and Microsoft, alleging that their products are not just fun—they are intentionally designed to be addictive and are causing significant harm to young players.

Why an NHL Diagnosis Is Key to a Winning Los Angeles Roundup Lawsuit

Thousands of people have filed lawsuits against Bayer, the company that now owns Monsanto, alleging that its flagship herbicide, Roundup, caused their cancer. These lawsuits have resulted in multi-million dollar verdicts and settlements, bringing hope to families devastated by a cancer diagnosis they believe was preventable. However, not every cancer diagnosis qualifies for a Roundup claim.

The cornerstone of a successful Roundup lawsuit is a very specific medical diagnosis: Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma (NHL) or one of its subtypes. While exposure to the chemical glyphosate—Roundup’s active ingredient—may be linked to other health issues, the vast majority of successful legal claims have been built on the strong scientific and legal connection between glyphosate and this particular type of cancer.
