Statement from Cia Edmonds, the mother of 12-year-old Maya who is fighting for her life in a Vancouver hospital after the Tumbler Ridge shooting. Cia is one of the lead plaintiffs in our lawsuits seeking to hold Sam Altman and OpenAI accountable for this tragedy. Twelve members of OpenAI's safety team urged the company to alert the authorities based on ChatGPT chatlogs where the eventual shooter apparently discussed plans to commit gun violence. Leadership at OpenAI told them to stand down. Six people died, twenty-five were injured, and a town was decimated. Sam thinks an apology and a promise to do better will paper over the damage he caused. She speaks for every family that was impacted that day.
A record-breaking year for our clients: over $2.8 billion in verdicts and settlements. From a first-of-its-kind billion-dollar settlement in an AI copyright case to hundreds of millions in verdicts for fire survivors, 2025 was about getting results where it counts.
Jay sat down with LawDragon to discuss our groundbreaking AI cases and being on the front line of the battle with Big Tech for decades. Check out the full interview here: https://t.co/TUIEtPTkdZ

Bipartisan pressure is mounting against OpenAI and other AI companies. These companies will be held accountable for releasing dangerous AI chatbots to our kids. Today our incredible clients Maria and Matthew Raine supported Senators Hawley and Blumenthal in introducing the GUARD Act to safeguard our kids from the dangers of AI. Thank you @HawleyMO, @SenBlumenthal, @SenKatieBritt and @ChrisMurphyCT

Families testified at this week's Senate hearing about AI chatbots harming our children. @EdelsonPC proudly represented the Raine Family who shared their tragic story.
Parents revealed how AI companies manipulated their kids, leading to self-harm, suicide & destroyed families.
These platforms are designed to "hook our children" without safeguards - yet major AI companies refused to attend the hearing.
Our children are not experiments. They deserve protection from companies that put profits over safety.

BigLaw isn’t even pretending anymore. Stanford just moved OCI to before 1L summer jobs—no grades, no experience, no evaluation. The illusion is gone. Top pay? Not unique. Power & prestige? Hard to sell when you can’t stand up for yourself.
