Nevada social media addiction lawsuit
Families in Nevada are holding Meta, TikTok, Snap and YouTube responsible for harm to their children, one case at a time. Here is who may qualify, how Nevada cases are filed, and the deadline that applies.
Quick answer
Nevada families can bring individual claims, not a class action, against Meta, TikTok, Snap and Google (YouTube) when a child was harmed after heavy use before 18. In Nevada, an injury claim generally must be filed within 2 years; if the injured person was under 18 when the claim arose, the time they are under 18 does not count. The 2-year clock generally starts at 18. A free review checks your family’s deadline.
Who may qualify in Nevada
- The child lives or lived in Nevada and used Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, Snapchat or YouTube regularly before 18
- The child developed depression, anxiety, an eating disorder, self-harm, sleep problems or another serious harm
- No diagnosis? 20 or more hours a week on one platform before 18 may support an exposure claim
- Families of a young person who died by suicide after heavy social media use
- An adult contacted the child through a platform and pressured, threatened or exploited them
Nevada filing deadlines
| Personal injury / product liability | 2 years | Injury claims, including product liability, must be filed within 2 years. | Nev. Rev. Stat. § 11.190(4)(e) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Injured as a minor | — | If the injured person was under 18 when the claim arose, the time they are under 18 does not count. The 2-year clock generally starts at 18. | Nev. Rev. Stat. § 11.250 |
| Wrongful death | 2 years | A wrongful death claim must be filed within 2 years. | Nev. Rev. Stat. § 11.190(4)(e) |
Nevada's 2-year limit is shorter than in many states. Under § 11.250, the pause also covers a child placed in state custodial care before 18 (with exceptions for someone imprisoned, paroled or on probation). Nevada's 10-year construction repose (§ 11.202) expressly does not apply to product defects, and we found no product statute of repose. Separate, longer rules apply to sexual abuse or exploitation of a minor (§ 11.215).
These are the general rules in the statutes. Courts apply exceptions, and which rule applies depends on the facts, so a lawyer should confirm your family’s deadline. This is general information, not legal advice.
How Nevada cases are filed
This is not a class action. A Nevada family’s claim is filed in the child’s name. Federal cases from every state are grouped in MDL No. 3047 in Northern California so evidence and pre-trial rulings are shared; about 3,800 were pending in October 2026. Some cases are filed in state court instead. The lawyers decide with your family where your case belongs.
What Nevada has done
Nevada did not join the October 2023 filings. Attorney General Aaron Ford filed Nevada's own lawsuits against Meta (Instagram, Facebook, Messenger) in Clark County District Court, announced January 30, 2024.
On the same day, January 30, 2024, Nevada also filed separate state-court lawsuits against TikTok and Snapchat in Clark County District Court.
Lawsuits and laws by the state are separate from a family’s own claim. They do not file or replace a claim for your child.

Common questions from Nevada families
Is there a class action for Nevada families?
No. Each child’s claim is filed individually. Federal cases from every state, including Nevada, are grouped in MDL No. 3047 in Northern California so evidence and pre-trial rulings are shared, but each claim stays the family’s own.
What is the deadline to file in Nevada?
Injury claims, including product liability, must be filed within 2 years. If the injured person was under 18 when the claim arose, the time they are under 18 does not count. The 2-year clock generally starts at 18.
What if my child died?
A wrongful death claim must be filed within 2 years.
Didn’t Nevada already sue Meta?
Nevada did not join the October 2023 filings. Attorney General Aaron Ford filed Nevada's own lawsuits against Meta (Instagram, Facebook, Messenger) in Clark County District Court, announced January 30, 2024. That case is brought by the state. It is separate from a family’s own claim for its child.
