Mass Torts

When dangerous products, drugs, or medical devices cause similar injuries to many people, those affected may have the right to pursue individual legal claims. Our team helps potential claimants understand their options and determine whether their circumstances may qualify for review.

Understanding Mass Torts

What Is a Mass Tort?

A mass tort may arise when a large number of people are harmed by the same product, medication, medical device, or wrongful conduct.

Although many claimants may share similar allegations and evidence, each person’s injuries, medical history, damages, and legal claim are reviewed individually.

Mass tort litigation can help organize claims involving common defendants or products while still allowing each claimant’s circumstances to be considered separately.

Mass Tort Claims May Involve

Mass Tort vs. Class Action

Mass torts and class actions may both involve many injured people, but they are not the same. In a mass tort, each claimant usually maintains an individual claim. In a class action, one or more representatives generally pursue claims on behalf of a larger group.

FAQ

Mass Tort Questions

Common questions about mass tort claims, how they differ from other cases, and what to expect during an initial review.

A mass tort is a civil action involving many individual claims against one or more defendants whose product, device, or conduct caused similar injuries across a large group of people.
In a class action, one lawsuit is filed on behalf of a group with similar claims. In a mass tort, each plaintiff files an individual lawsuit, allowing the court to consider the specific facts and damages of each case.
Individuals who were injured, became ill, or required additional medical treatment after using a product, device, or medication linked to widespread harm may be eligible to file a claim.
Compensation may include medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, and other damages related to the injury. The amount depends on the facts of each individual case.
Mass tort cases can take months or years depending on the litigation, discovery process, and whether a settlement is reached. Some cases resolve earlier, while others may proceed through trial.
Many mass tort cases are handled on a contingency fee basis, meaning legal fees are only paid if compensation is recovered. Specific fee arrangements are discussed during the initial consultation.
