What Is Social Media Addiction?
Social media addiction occurs when a person seeks out social media use so much that it impacts the rest of their lives and causes adverse effects. This can include:
- Severe anxiety
- Eating disorders
- Depression
- Suicide
- Low self-esteem
- Self-harm
Not all people who use social media face these complications. It is not clear why some people experience it, and others do not. However, there is a growing number of people impacted by the continuous, increasing use of social media. While teens and children are most vulnerable, this addiction can impact anyone.
Why Are These Cases Compared to Tobacco Litigation?
Social media and tobacco target the brain’s reward center. When this happens, your brain’s dopamine production, a feel-good hormone, increases. Over time, the brain’s structure changes to seek out activities that produce this sensation of pleasure.
Both social media and tobacco, like other addictive substances and activities, become incredibly hard to stop using. The more you use them, the higher the risk of complications. Even though both are readily available, for some, this simply is not safe.
Who May Be Eligible to File a Social Media Addiction Claim in Las Vegas?
Holding social media platforms accountable for your losses can be challenging. Holding these companies accountable is just being sought in US Courts, and with good reason. If you believe you have psychological damage caused by or worsened by social media addiction, we strongly encourage you to speak to our Las Vegas social media addiction attorney.
This also applies to families of children, teens, and young adults who are facing the intensity of addictive behaviors that continue to worsen. You can step in and offer your child or loved one help. In doing so, you can also be their advocate for getting justice.
How Long Do I Have to File a Social Media Addiction Claim in Nevada?
In Nevada, the statute of limitations for most personal injury lawsuits is two years from the date of the injury. In this case, that may be a diagnosis. However, in all situations, you must act quickly to seek legal action and protect your right to compensation. We encourage you to speak to our legal team immediately. Let us determine if you have a case and what your rights are.
