Mass Tort Litigation
While we believe in an individual approach for every client, we also use the benefits of mass tort litigation to reduce costs for all plaintiffs.
Mass Torts Explained
When many parties are similarly injured by a single product or event, this is deemed a mass tort. If pursued legally, the mass tort then becomes a civil action which has many plaintiffs involved against one or more corporate defendants. The intent of mass tort litigation is to allow those injured parties whose injuries occurred in a similar manner to have their collective claims represented at the same time, saving time and money for the plaintiffs, as well as the courts.
Mass tort litigation encompasses product liability claims, antitrust claims, and man-made disasters on a large scale, such as utility-caused fires, plant explosions, plane crashes, and gas leaks.
A mass tort is a civil lawsuit involving numerous plaintiffs against one or more defendants, often involving dangerous products or a common incident.
