Curriculum Vitae

TODD LOGAN chairs the firm’s Mass Tort practice group, which currently focuses on utility-caused wildfires and toxic torts, including EtO, PFAS, and PCBs. Todd also chairs the firm’s Gambling practice group, which targets so-called “social casinos” and other predatory, misleading, or internet-based gambling businesses.

  • Wildfires: Todd manages Edelson’s teams representing wildfire survivors across the country. Appointed co-lead counsel by the court, the firm secured a historic classwide jury verdict on behalf of survivors of the 2020 Labor Day Fires in Oregon establishing classwide liability and punitive damages—the first known jury verdict holding a utility provider, PacifiCorp, accountable for a wildfire. James v. PacifiCorp, No. 20-cv-33885 (Mult. Cty., Or.). To date, the firm has won over $1 billion in verdicts and judgments for the survivors whose cases have proceeded to trial.* More than 1,500 additional clients are set for jury trials in 2026 and 2027. The firm has also been appointed to the Plaintiffs’ Steering Committee in both the Marshall Fire litigation in Colorado, where it represents approximately 500 survivors, and the Eaton Fire litigation in Los Angeles, where it represents thousands of homeowners alleging damages from the January 2025 Eaton and Palisades wildfires. Todd also manages the firm’s teams representing approximately 1,000 survivors of the 2018 Camp Fire in Northern California, where the firm served as counsel to a member of the 11-person Tort Claimants’ Committee in the PG&E Bankruptcy, resulting in a historic $13.5 billion settlement.
  • Ethylene Oxide: Todd also directs the firm’s ethylene oxide litigation, overseeing teams representing more than one thousand individuals alleging their cancers were caused by EtO emissions from medical sterilization facilities across Illinois, Georgia, and elsewhere in the country. The firm has tried two EtO cases to jury verdicts and confidentially resolved a third the night before jury deliberations were to begin. In the aggregate, Todd has negotiated more than $500 million in confidential settlements on behalf of Edelson clients alleging that EtO emitters caused their cancers.
  • PFAS: Todd serves as a court-appointed member of the Plaintiffs’ Executive Committee in In Re: Aqueous Film-Forming Foams (AFFF) Products Liability Litigation, 18-mn-2873-RMG, MDL No. 2873 (D.S.C.)—one of the largest multidistrict litigations in the country, involving claims that “forever chemicals” known as PFAS contaminated water supplies near military bases, airports, and industrial sites. The firm also represents homeowners whose properties and water supplies were contaminated by AFFF.
  • Gambling: Todd has repeatedly been appointed class counsel in actions alleging that online “social casinos” took money from consumers through illegal gambling, returning more than $651 million to consumers so far. Representative settlements include Benson v. Double Down Interactive, LLC, No. 18-cv-00525 (W.D. Wash.) ($415 million); Kater v. Churchill Downs Inc., No. 15-cv-00612 (W.D. Wash.) ($155 million); Wilson v. Playtika Ltd., No. 18-cv-05277 (W.D. Wash.) ($38 million); Reed v. Light & Wonder, Inc., No. 18-cv-00565 (W.D. Wash.) ($24.5 million); and Ferrando v. Zynga Inc., No. 22-cv-214 (W.D. Wash.) ($12 million). The firm also obtained a first-ever jury verdict against one such “social casino” operator, winning every dollar to the victims as well as enhanced damages. Larsen v. PTT LLC, 3:18-cv-05275 (W.D. Wash.). Todd has been appointed law and briefing counsel in subsequent MDLs against the platforms, where plaintiffs allege that the platforms act as the de facto “bookies.” In re Apple Inc. App Store Simulated Casino-Style Games Litigation, No. 5:21-md-02985 (N.D. Cal.); In re Google Play Store Simulated Casino-Style Games Litigation, No. 5:21-md-03001 (N.D. Cal.); In re Facebook Simulated Casino-Style Games Litigation, No. 3:21-cv-02777 (N.D. Cal.).
