Video game addiction lawsuit claim forms require medical and mental-health records, gaming-history proof, in-game spending records, school and behavioral records, and identity and guardianship documents. A video game addiction lawsuit is a claim that compulsive gaming caused diagnosable harm, and claimants now complete a law-firm intake evaluation rather than a court-approved settlement form. An intake evaluation screens eligibility and harm before any filing. It collects treatment history, playtime, purchases, and family impact for attorney review.

Is there an official settlement form to file?
According to the Miller & Zois case review, families submit a law-firm intake evaluation rather than a self-filed settlement form. That review reports no publicly reported settlement or verdict as of Oct. 2026. The federal MDL No. 3168 transfer was denied Dec.
10, 2025. California JCCP No. 5363 remains in early pretrial with no trial date, according to the U.S. Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation via GovInfo. That means there is no single national deadline or payout fund.
What medical records prove harm?
According to the Robert King Law Firm October 2026 update, firms request records showing diagnosis and treatment for gaming disorder or related depression, anxiety, and ADHD. Those records include therapy notes, counseling records, and psychiatric care.
The World Health Organization defines gaming disorder in ICD-11 as impaired control, greater priority for gaming over daily activities, and continued play despite harm causing marked impairment. A diagnosis tied to that pattern carries more weight than a general complaint about screen time.
How do you document playtime and spending?
Firms look for account history, playtime logs or screenshots, and prolonged heavy play. The Miller & Zois Lawsuit Information Center describes that pattern as at least 70 hours over five weeks.
According to Doyle APC's filing guide, firms also request bank and credit-card statements showing in-game purchases such as Robux, V-Bucks, or other in-game currencies. Save both the platform receipt and the matching card or bank line.
- Export account history and playtime logs from each console, PC launcher, and mobile game.
- Screenshot profile pages, purchase history, and parental-control settings with dates visible.
- Download bank and card statements that show the merchant name and amount.
What school, family, and identity papers are needed?
Doyle APC lists school and behavioral records showing academic decline, specialized educational accommodations, therapy notes, and witness statements about social or emotional harm. Report cards, attendance records, counselor emails, and coach statements can show change over time. Intake forms also collect identity, age, U.S.
residence, guardianship, and who created or knew about the minor's gaming accounts, according to the Robert King Law Firm. That information establishes eligibility, parental consent, and account responsibility. Ask the firm what file format it wants for screenshots and statements before you send records.
