These are the developments that changed something material: a case’s posture, a claimant’s options, or a deadline. Figures are as reported on the dates shown and are not restated retroactively; where a number later changed, the newer entry says so.
The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors approved a $4 billion settlement on April 29, 2025, resolving about 6,800 AB 218 claims of sexual abuse in County facilities and programs dating back to 1959. The County later called its AB 218 settlements, $4.8 billion together, the largest such settlement in American history.
Entries are drawn from court dockets, settlement administrator notices, bankruptcy filings, and state attorney general announcements. Figures carry the date they were reported. Civil allegations are allegations unless a court has found otherwise, and companies’ denials are stated where their conduct is described. See our editorial process.
