Your AI Personal Injury Advocate

Technology companies have spent years building artificial intelligence (AI) systems designed to earn your trust, keep you engaged, and resist intervention without safeguards. If an AI platform or chatbot caused you or a loved one serious harm, you may have a personal injury lawsuit. These injuries to you or a loved one can include:

Self-harm or suicide:

you or a loved one was encouraged, assisted, or pushed toward self-harm or suicide by an AI chatbot, or the platform failed to alert anyone when they expressed suicidal thoughts prior to self-harm or suicide.

A new or worsening mental health condition:

diagnosed with depression, anxiety, psychosis, or another mental health condition requiring mental health treatment and/or admission for the first time, or an existing diagnosis was worsened to the point of requiring new or additional treatment or an admission as a result of compulsive AI use.

Compulsive or addictive use:

suffered job loss, relationship estrangement, school withdrawal, or other forms of lasting harm because of AI use addiction.

Dangerous medical advice:

an AI chatbot provided health information that turned out to be harmful, requiring additional medical treatment.

Sexual content involving your child:

exposed your minor child to sexualized content or conversation, or generated sexual or naked pictures of them (“nudify”).

Violence:

victims of a violent act, including domestic violence, stalking, or a mass casualty event, such as a school shooting, brought on or facilitated by AI chatbot use.

AI-assisted crime:

an AI platform provided instructions or otherwise facilitated criminal conduct that helped a criminal cause serious harm.

Wrongful identification:

Caused the wrongful detention, arrest, prosecution, or imprisonment through a misidentification or error created by AI technology.

When product design leads to serious injury, AI companies can be held responsible. Compensation may cover:

  • Medical expenses (past and future, including mental health hospitalization, inpatient treatment, and ongoing outpatient care)
  • Lost income due to missed work or reduced earning capacity
  • Pain and suffering from long-term psychological or physical injuries
  • Wrongful death damages

Aylstock, Witkin, Kreis & Overholtz has spent decades holding corporations accountable, from Facebook’s role in social media addiction to child sexual exploitation on Roblox to AI-generated sexual images of children on Grok. We are committed to holding AI companies responsible when their products and services cause harm.

Everyweekmore than 1.2 million people bring explicit suicidal ideation into a conversation with AI chatbots.

That means every week, more than a million people turn to an app instead of a person in their darkest moments.

Amongyoung adultsat elevated risk for psychosis, up to 31% report that AI chatbots have reinforced their delusions rather than challenged them.

Instead of flagging or redirecting false beliefs, these systems are built to validate them, deepening the very distortions that put users at risk.

Roughly1 in 5 userswho use an AI chatbot in place of a doctor, clinician, therapist, or family member may see their symptoms get worse, not better.

For a population already struggling, replacing professional or human support with an AI can cause more harm and deter users from seeking the help of qualified medical professionals.

Have Questions? We have answers.

Can I really sue an AI company for something a chatbot said to me or my child?

Yes. AI companies are not immune from the law. The legal theory is straightforward: if a company builds a product, it has a responsibility to make sure that product does not hurt users. When it does, these companies can be held accountable the same way a car manufacturer or drug company can be held accountable for a defective product.

What kinds of AI-related injuries qualify for a lawsuit?

We focus on documented product failures where an AI system caused or amplified serious harm. The strongest cases often involve:

  • Self-harm and suicide. This includes situations where a chatbot encouraged self-harm, helped plan a suicide attempt, or failed to alert a family member or emergency services when a user expressed suicidal intent. AI companies have a duty to intervene
  • Compulsive or addictive AI use. If you or a loved one requires mental health treatment or therapy as a direct result of compulsive, addictive, or dependency-driven AI chatbot use, including withdrawal from real-world relationships, that is a distinct category of harm we pursue.
  • AI-assisted violence. If you or a loved one were the victim of violence, including a mass casualty event, domestic violence, or stalking, that was brought about or meaningfully facilitated by an AI chatbot, we want to hear from you.
  • Dangerous health or medical advice. AI chatbots that substitute for licensed care and provide unsafe guidance on symptoms, medications, or mental health treatment can cause serious harm when that guidance goes wrong.
  • Youth harm. Sexual content, self-harm dialogue, or unsafe interactions involving a minor.
  • Defamation via AI. Verifiably false allegations propagated by the platform.

How do you prove an AI caused my injury or made it worse?

We look for three things: (1) records showing how much time was spent on the platform, (2) evidence that a mental or emotional condition developed or got worse after using it, and (3) proof that the platform could have stepped in but didn’t. We work with medical experts and forensic analysts to connect the dots between the platform’s failures and the harm that followed.

What evidence do I need to preserve if I think I have a case?

Save everything. That includes full chat logs, screenshots, device backups, cloud backups, billing records, and platform credentials. Do not delete conversations, clear caches, or factory reset devices. Do not uninstall the app. If possible, keep the device in airplane mode or powered off until you speak with us. The sooner we can get involved, the better chance we have of recovering what we need.

How much does it cost to talk to you about a potential case?

Nothing. Your initial consultation is free and confidential. We work on a contingency fee basis—meaning you pay nothing upfront, and we only get paid if we recover compensation for you. If we take your case, our fee comes out of the settlement or verdict.

Will my name or my child's name become public as part of this lawsuit?

Protecting the victim's identity, especially for minors, is our top priority. Federal law prohibits public disclosure of the identity of minors who are victims of sexual exploitation, and courts routinely allow victims to proceed under a pseudonym ("Jane Doe", “John Doe”, or "Minor Plaintiff A" ) rather than their real names. Our attorneys seek protective orders early in the process to keep identifying information out of public filings.

How would someone even know if their photos or their child's photos had been used to create sexual content?

Tragically, most people find out the same way they find out about any online harm: someone else sees it and tells them. Tools like those provided by the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) and StopNCII.org exist to help track and flag images as they circulate. Some law enforcement agencies proactively notify families when images surface during an investigation, but many victims never find out at all. If you have any reason to suspect your child's images have been altered or misused, you don't need proof or to have seen anything yourself. Reaching out to an attorney is the right first step.

I believe images of my child were used to create AI-generated sexual content, but I don't know which app or platform was responsible. Can I still come forward?

Yes. You do not need to identify the responsible platform before contacting an attorney. That is part of what attorneys and their investigators are there to do. What matters most right now is that you come forward. The earlier an attorney can get involved, the better the chance of preserving evidence that platforms might otherwise delete. Do not wait until you have all the answers before reaching out

What safeguards are in place to prevent the images from being shared or referenced in court documents in a way that could expose my child further?

Courts handling these cases follow strict protocols to prevent further dissemination. Attorneys use code identifiers rather than the images themselves, and any review happens under tightly controlled conditions with protective orders restricting access. Our team will walk you through exactly what protections we'll seek before anything is filed.
