About
California-licensed attorney (Bar No. 263673). Editor and publisher.
David Meldofsky is a California-licensed attorney with roughly two decades of experience in mass tort referral and the plaintiff-side legal industry, representing injured clients and working inside the intake, claim-screening, and referral systems where the business of plaintiff-side law actually runs.
That vantage point is the reason he publishes. The questions he covers, including how referral economics work, what state regulatory action means when the federal floor contracts, and what happens to product liability doctrine when the defective product is an AI system, are the ones he kept encountering inside the industry and rarely saw analyzed honestly outside it.
Industry
Editorial analysis of mass torts, product liability, toxic exposure litigation, and the business of plaintiff-side law in the age of AI. Written for attorneys, journalists, and firms working inside the litigation industry.
Public
Plain-English public legal education on lawsuits, consumer safety, and legal rights. Written for the general reader trying to understand how a particular kind of litigation works.
Directory
A searchable directory and case-review hub connecting consumers with plaintiff-side firms across mass tort, product liability, and consumer protection categories.
Current analysis published on Lawsuit Intelligencer, most recent first.
Bylined commentary and citations in national legal outlets. His published work centers on two threads: the gap between EPA's narrowing PFAS posture and an expanding PFAS litigation landscape, and the legal questions raised by AI, both how consumers read AI-generated legal content and whether AI output is a product or content for liability purposes.
