Tech Torts
Understanding Technology Torts
At the intersection of law and digital innovation, Technology Torts address the evolving harms facilitated by digital platforms and technologies. “Tech Torts” refers to the broad theme of countless torts that arise when technology is utilized to commit harm and abuse. These torts include various privacy invasions, tech-facilitated abuse, negligence, product liability, and more.
This practice area focuses on holding entities accountable for the negligence, misuse, or abuse of technology that leads to harm. Many of these cases involve pursuing personal injury, and product liability actions against Big Technology or Social Media Companies. We are at the forefront of challenging the overreaching applications of Section 230 protections utilized by Big Tech companies. This contributed to an imbalance against individuals and small innovators who need protection against powerful tech giants with more resources and funding.
The Importance of Technology Torts
The digital age, while offering unprecedented opportunities for communication and innovation, also introduces new avenues for harm. Issues such as child exploitation, social media harm, and personal injury have occurred, necessitating an updated legal framework. Technology Torts aim to restore a sense of accountability and provide a recourse for those harmed by the negligent or wrongful actions of technology companies.
