Mass Tort

Mass tort cases occur when a large group of individuals bring a claim against a single defendant for an injury caused by a service, practice or product. Mass tort claims strive to collect maximum compensation for all those who were injured by the actions of a single manufacturer, distributor or employer. In addition, mass tort claims promote long-term changes that will help the public and prevent future lawsuits.

Our attorneys handle a variety of mass tort claims, including:

• Failure to warn claims
• Medical device claims
• Discrimination claims
• Breach of warranty claims
• Employee benefits claims
• Consumer product claims
• Defective design and manufacture claims
• Asbestos claims

The law allows for a group of individuals to bring a claim collectively because their cases often have a common legal thread. For instance, individuals who took a prescription drug and suffered the same, life-threatening or debilitating side effect can bring a mass tort claim. This allows a mass torts attorney to seek compensation against the defendant, often resulting in a positive result for each individual claimant. These individual plaintiffs may recover compensation for medical expenses, pain and suffering and lost income.

While there are a variety of mass tort cases, many involve defective drugs, such as:

• Accutane
• Gadolinium
• Paxil
• Vioxx
• Zelnorm
• Trasylol
