Social Media, Video Game & Youth Harm Litigation
Representing school districts and public entities in litigation involving alleged harms associated with social media, video games, and youth-focused digital products.
McIntyre Schnieders represents school districts and other public entities in litigation arising from alleged harms associated with social-media platforms, video games, and youth-focused digital products.
Institutional harms require institutional proof
These cases are not simply collections of individual injury claims. School districts can face increased demands on counseling, mental-health resources, discipline, attendance intervention, staff time, technology policies, and other services. A successful institutional case requires a clear record connecting alleged product conduct to measurable burdens borne by the public entity.

Practical representation for school systems
We recognize that litigation is not a school district’s primary mission. Our process is designed to obtain the records and testimony needed to develop the case without turning the district into a litigation department.
