Mass Torts

Mass Tort Litigation Attorney

A mass tort is a civil action that involves multiple claimants who have been harmed by the same defendant or group of defendants. Mass torts are an efficient way for multiple plaintiffs to have their voices heard against a common and often powerful defendant. Defendants are often large corporations, multinational pharmaceutical companies, product manufacturers, or medical facilities and practitioners. In filing a mass tort, the nature and extent of a claimant’s injuries or illnesses are major determining factors in setting the claim’s value. A victim’s diagnosis legitimizes the claim. If you believe you meet the criteria for a mass tort lawsuit, it is essential to be examined and treated by a medical provider as soon as possible.

Common Types of Mass Tort Cases are:

• Defective products
• Dangerous drugs and medical devices
• Natural and man-made disasters
• Chemical and toxic contamination
• Medical malpractice cases

Multi-District Litigation

When a group of claimants suffers the same or similar injuries or illnesses caused by the same defendant or defendants, these cases may be consolidated into one legal action known as multidistrict litigation (or MDL). In an MDL, one judge oversees all the cases based on similar facts and arguments. One of the benefits of MDL is that the court accepts the same evidence for all cases. However, each plaintiff pursues their claim and is entitled to their result individually.
