Empowering Students with Disabilities and Their Families with Expert Legal Advocacy Solutions
Representation for Students and Families Harmed by Social Media Addiction
We help families evaluate whether compulsive social media use, harmful design features, and related platform conduct may support legal claims.
K Altman Law serves as a dedicated resource for families navigating the educational and mental health impacts of social media addiction.
A Personal Impact with Legal Accountability
For many families, the impact of social media use is deeply personal. A child or student may have begun using Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, Snapchat, or similar platforms at a young age and gradually developed compulsive use patterns, emotional deterioration, sleep disruption, social withdrawal, academic decline, or more serious mental health symptoms.

Evaluate Potential Legal Claims
We assess whether a student or family may have a viable claim related to social media addiction, youth-targeted platform design, failure to warn, or related harm theories.
Analyze the Litigation Landscape
We help families distinguish between general concern and legally actionable harm, ensuring facts align with the current landscape of digital platform litigation.
Preserve Critical Evidence
We guide families on securing relevant materials, including screenshots, app usage data, school and medical records, and evidence of harmful content exposure.
Coordinate Strategy with Educational Needs
We manage return-to-school planning, disability accommodations, medical leave support, and safety planning to ensure legal action doesn't disrupt student stability.
Advise on School and College Implications
Where these issues affect grades, conduct, or access to services, we help families navigate educational systems alongside potential litigation strategies.
