BlueshoeInvestigations

When companies harm people at scale, we investigate.

Nationwide investigations into products and platforms that lawsuits and regulators allege caused real harm. Free, confidential evaluation — and no attorneys' fee unless you recover.

ACTIVE INVESTIGATIONS

Bold where it's early.Careful where it counts.

Each investigation is built on publicly filed lawsuits, regulatory actions, and published science — attributed, sourced, and reviewed by a licensed Arizona attorney.

Gambling & prediction market apps

Unlimited losses, limited wins: VIP hosts courting heavy losers while winners get shut down — across sportsbooks, sweepstakes casinos, and prediction markets like Kalshi and Polymarket.

GLP-1 drugs & knockoff peptides

Vision loss, stomach paralysis, compounded and counterfeit peptides from med spas and telehealth sites — and the mood, desire, and life changes users report. Thousands of consolidated cases, and new fronts opening.

Social media & AI companion harm

Juries have ruled, platforms are settling — and the first AI chatbot companies have already paid families. For minors seriously harmed by engineered feeds and artificial companions.

EARLY FILES

Building the record before the law catches up.

No consolidated litigation exists for these yet — and our pages say so plainly. Early documentation is the position that matters if it comes.

Ultra-processed foods

Addiction-by-design allegations against major food makers, marketed to kids — early dismissals, multiplying filings, and the first government suit.

Microplastics

Found in human blood, lungs, and placentas; the plaintiffs' bar calls it the next PFAS. We're on the ground floor, documenting.

Extreme heat

Hundreds of deaths a year in Maricopa County, no heat standard in force — with live Arizona claims for renters without cooling and workers punished for speaking up.

On our watchlist

We continuously monitor emerging litigation — including video game addiction design claims, the Depo-Provera settlement process, PFAS biosolids on farmland, and new AI-harm filings. As viable claim paths open, new investigations launch here.

HOW INVESTIGATIONS WORK
