Roblox Lawsuit Attorneys

Representing Victims of Online Sexual Exploitation and Suicide.

Why Are Families Filing Lawsuits Against Roblox?

Roblox is one of the most popular online gaming platforms among children and teenagers, with millions of active users engaging daily in user-generated games, chat rooms, and virtual experiences. While the platform promotes creativity and social interaction, a growing number of lawsuits allege that Roblox Corporation failed to protect minors from child sexual exploitation.

Across the country, families are coming forward to hold Roblox accountable for what they describe as a failure to implement safety features, warn parents, and moderate content. One group of lawsuits currently gaining traction is: Child sexual exploitation and grooming facilitated through Roblox’s chat and game.

If you are a parent of a child who was contacted by a predator on Roblox, you may be eligible to pursue legal action.

If your child has been harmed through Roblox, you don’t have to face it alone. Call 1-800-YOUR-LAWYER (1-800-968-7529) for a free and confidential case review with Parker Waichman LLP.

Lawsuits Over Child Sexual Exploitation and Online Grooming on Roblox

Dozens of families have filed lawsuits claiming that Roblox’s platform was used by online predators to target and groom children. Despite marketing itself as a safe space for kids, Roblox allegedly failed to implement adequate safeguards to prevent exploitation.

Key Allegations Include:

• Inadequate moderation of in-game chat and user interactions.
• Features that made it easy for predators to initiate contact with children.
• Misleading claims to parents about safety and oversight.
• Failure to prevent predators from using the platform as a “gateway” to move children to less secure platforms like Discord, Snapchat, or Instagram, where abuse escalated.

Parents say they trusted the platform, only to discover that it was being used by adults posing as children or exploiting poorly monitored chat systems. In many cases, the abuse began on Roblox and continued elsewhere.

Case Status:

Certain federal lawsuits involving these claims have been consolidated into multidistrict litigation (MDL) in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. This MDL allows victims’ claims to proceed in a coordinated fashion while sharing evidence and legal discovery. Roblox continues to deny any wrongdoing.

Notable Legal and Legislative Developments

The Roblox lawsuits have gained attention beyond individual plaintiffs. State attorneys general in Kentucky, Louisiana, and Tennessee have filed suits accusing Roblox of violating consumer protection laws through deceptive practices and unsafe platform design.

In addition, a California court recently ruled that Roblox cannot force child sexual abuse victims into private arbitration. This decision is significant as it allows survivors to have their day in court rather than being silenced by confidential, corporate-run arbitration.

Roblox’s leadership has responded by stating that the lawsuits “misrepresent the platform” and highlighting safety tools like image-sharing restrictions and enhanced age verification. However, the growing volume of lawsuits and state-level enforcement actions suggests increasing pressure on the company to change its approach.

Who Can File a Lawsuit Against Roblox?

Roblox lawsuits are generally for families whose children experienced child exploitation on the platform. Eligibility typically requires evidence that your child was harmed in one of these ways while using Roblox.

Victims of Child Sexual Exploitation

You may qualify if your child:

• Was contacted by an adult predator through Roblox
• Was persuaded to continue contact on apps like Discord or Snapchat
• Suffered emotional trauma, behavioral changes, or required therapy
• Has records, screenshots, or witness testimony of inappropriate contact

National Eligibility

You do not need to be in a state with a pending lawsuit to be eligible to file a claim. Eligibility includes families from all 50 states whose children have experienced harm related to Roblox. Families in Kentucky, Tennessee, and Louisiana may have additional support since their attorney general’s offices are involved.

What Legal Claims Are Being Made?

Families bringing Roblox lawsuits are pursuing legal action under a range of consumer protection and injury laws, including:

• Negligence: Roblox failed to take reasonable steps to protect children from foreseeable dangers.
• Product Liability: The platform’s design and features created a risk of grooming-related harm.
• Failure to Warn: Roblox did not adequately inform users or parents about the risks of abuse or psychological injury.
• Deceptive Business Practices: Misrepresenting safety features and targeting children with manipulative game mechanics.
• Violations of State Consumer Protection Laws: Particularly in states where AGs have taken action.

What Compensation May Be Available?

If your child was harmed through Roblox, you may be eligible to recover financial compensation for:

• Medical costs, including hospitalizations, therapy, psychiatric care, or medications
• Lost income, if a parent had to take time off work or seek professional services
• Pain and suffering, both for the child and their immediate family
• Loss of educational opportunities or future earning potential
• Wrongful death damages, if the abuse leads to suicide or fatal consequences
• Punitive damages, if the court finds that Roblox acted with willful disregard for safety

Each case is unique. An experienced attorney from Parker Waichman LLP can evaluate the facts of your situation and help determine what damages may apply.

What To Do If You Believe Your Child Was Harmed on Roblox

Taking early action is key. If you suspect your child was affected through exploitation, the following steps can help preserve evidence and protect your legal rights:

• Save all digital records, including screenshots, chat logs, game activity, and messages.
• Collect medical documentation, including diagnoses, prescriptions, and mental health evaluations.
• Record financial records, such as in-game purchase receipts or app store transactions.
• Monitor behavioral changes, including isolation, emotional instability, sleep disruptions, or school issues.
• Avoid signing arbitration agreements, waivers, or terms of service without legal review.

Contacting our product liability attorneys promptly can help ensure that your child’s experience is properly documented and that your family’s claim is filed within applicable legal deadlines.

Roblox Injury & Wrongful Death Lawsuit Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What types of injuries are covered in these lawsuits against Roblox?

Both physical and psychological injuries may be involved, including sexual exploitation, anxiety, depression, behavioral disorders, sleep loss, and, in extreme cases, self-harm or seizures. Some lawsuits also include claims for financial exploitation through addictive purchase mechanics.

Can I still file a lawsuit if the abuse happened on another platform but started on Roblox?

Yes. If a predator used Roblox to initiate contact before shifting to platforms like Discord or Instagram, Roblox may still be held responsible for enabling that connection and failing to prevent it.

Can I sue on behalf of my child?

Yes. Parents or legal guardians can file claims on behalf of their children. In some states, adults who were harmed as minors may also have legal standing to sue, depending on the statute of limitations rules.

Is there a time limit to file a Roblox lawsuit?

Yes. Deadlines vary by state. However, in many cases involving child exploitation, statutes of limitation may be paused (tolled) until the victim reaches adulthood. An attorney can explain your specific window to file.

What evidence should I gather?
Valuable evidence includes:

• Roblox usernames and chat history
• Screenshots or conversations on other platforms
• App store purchase records
• Medical records or school reports
• Behavioral logs or therapy documentation

What if my child hasn’t told me everything yet?
Many children delay disclosure or may not fully understand what happened to them. If you suspect something is wrong, a legal consultation can help explore next steps without requiring your child to testify immediately.
