New evidence is emerging to suggest that social media companies including Meta (Facebook and Instagram), Snapchat, Tik Tok, and others, use deceptive practices to target and hook adolescents to their products. This in turn causes addictive behaviors resulting in youth with mental health issues.
There is an increase in prevalence of anxiety disorders, depression, instances of self-harm or suicidal ideation, eating disorders, and other mental illnesses.
These issues directly coincide with the rapid rate of social media usage amongst children and young adults. Social media companies use algorithms and data collection specifically designed to hook users, and to promote images and messaging encouraging unhealthy and potentially dangerous behaviors, as well as averting the use of parental controls.
Neinstein LLP is investigating claims on behalf of Canadians who have suffered psychological harm and mental illness linked to these practices. Our goal is to:
We believe the companies responsible for this mental health epidemic should be held accountable for the undue harm caused by their actions.
If you, your child, or any loved one has experienced serious harm from social media usage, we want to hear from you. You may reach out to us confidentially by email at socialmediaclaims@neinstein.com.

We will not charge you unless your case is successful.
To support you through the complex legal and medical processes associated with catastrophic injuries and resultant legal cases. We help you access the financial resources you need to care for your family and account for medical care and loss of income.
Financial hardship often accompanies a catastrophic injury as you or your family member are left unable to work - we understand that. That's why we act on your behalf without upfront costs. That means that we will represent you and your case without charge until the case is resolved. By working on a contingency fee basis, that means that the only time you'll pay is when you receive a settlement or win your case, with our team taking a percentage of the settlement or judgment. The rate varies depending on the details of the case, all of which is clearly outlined and discussed before we begin representing you.
Unfortunately, there is no accurate way to predict how long a case can take. Complex cases that go to trial can take years, for instance. Our process is to begin an early and thorough investigation of all potential claims as this promises the best way to achieve a relatively swift and successful outcome. We will always work to move your case forward as quickly as possible.
We are confident our proven strategy can assist you in obtaining your proper and rightful accident benefits. Toronto-based and serving all of Ontario, Neinstein Personal Injury Lawyers pursues your personal injury claim at no upfront or hourly cost to you, and there are no fees until your case is successfully resolved.

2020 was a difficult year for most, but during these unprecedented times, we came out stronger together.
When people are injured, most often they are unable to work and during these times, cash flow can become an enormous burden on the victim and their families. We recognize that our clients are suffering and are under enormous financial stress.
That is why we use the contingency fee arrangement. Under this arrangement, the client is not required to pay any fees or expenses unless the case is successful. If the client does not recover any monies from the lawsuit, there will be no legal fees.
Our lawyers have been representing seriously injured accident victims for more than 50 years. With experience in all areas of Ontario personal injury and medical malpractice law, our goal is to ensure that Ontario's most vulnerable residents get the representation they deserve.
