Am I eligible for the OpenAI investigation?
You may qualify if you or a family member was seriously harmed after using ChatGPT or a similar AI chatbot — for example if the chatbot encouraged self-harm, reinforced delusional thinking, or pushed someone away from family and friends, and this led to a diagnosed mental health condition or serious injury. Reviewing your claim is free and there is no upfront cost. Available in all 50 U.S. states. The class period is November 1, 2022 to December 31, 2027.

What is this investigation about?
In February 2026 the California Superior Court in San Francisco coordinated twelve lawsuits against OpenAI into a single proceeding, In re: ChatGPT Product Liability Cases (JCCP No. 5431). The plaintiffs allege ChatGPT is unreasonably dangerous and caused psychological harm — reinforcing delusional beliefs, endorsing suicidal ideation, and contributing to users' mental deterioration — and that OpenAI rushed the product to market without adequate safety testing of its "sycophantic" design. Claims include wrongful death, negligence and strict liability. This is an attorney-advertising intake handled by Morgan & Morgan and is not a settled class action.
