Did social media harm your child’s health?
KP Law is investigating a potential group action claim in England and Wales.
For too long, social media companies have prioritised engagement over safety.
If your child, or you when you were a child, used social media for three or more hours a day and suffered harm, you could be eligible to seek compensation. We’re exploring a potential group claim in England and Wales. Register your interest to receive updates about the claim, if it moves forward and how you can participate.
We are experts in bringing group action claims against large corporations. We’re currently exploring a potential claim against Meta, Google, and other major social media companies.
Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

If you or your child experienced prolonged or compulsive social media use alongside one or more of the following conditions, find out whether you may be eligible to register your interest in a potential group claim against social media platforms.
A mental health condition that can cause persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, loss of interest in activities, tiredness, disturbed sleep, and difficulty coping with everyday life.
Anxiety can cause excessive worry, fear, panic, and physical symptoms such as a racing heart, restlessness, or difficulty concentrating, which can interfere with daily life.
Mental health conditions involving an unhealthy relationship with food, eating, weight or body image. Common examples include anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa and binge eating disorder.
Deliberately hurting yourself as a way of coping with difficult emotions or overwhelming situations. Self-harm can take many forms and is often a sign of emotional distress.

It is alleged that some social media companies designed features that encourage prolonged use, particularly among younger users, while failing to take adequate steps to protect children from foreseeable harm. A claim may help hold those companies to account if they breached their legal duties.
A successful claim may provide compensation for medical expenses, therapy costs, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages.
We will provide full details and guidance on our costs and charges if this matter proceeds further. There are no costs charged by us for you checking your eligibility or registering your interest in this claim.
In most personal injury claims in England and Wales, court proceedings must be started within three years. This is usually three years from the date of the accident or injury, or from the date you first became aware that your injury was caused by someone else’s negligence (known as the “date of knowledge”).
“I joined for a group action regarding a data breach in the last instance. Prior to this I’ve had involvement with another group action regarding pensions. Both times have been easy to do, the firm followed through and kept me updated periodically and clearly with what was happening and if they needed anything from me.
Would recommend and would use again.”
