WHAT IS A MASS TORT?
Tort law allows victims who have been harmed by the negligence or wrongful acts of others to pursue a civil claim to recover monetary compensation.
Mass tort cases commonly stem from things that affect numerous people or a group of people, such as a defective drug or poorly designed product that causes harm. The defendants in mass tort cases are often big corporations, such as pharmaceutical companies. At times, these cases receive widespread publicity and make news headlines. Since these types of claims affect many people, they have the power to spread awareness, change policies, improve safety and discourage big corporations from continuing negligent behavior.
HOW DO MASS TORT CASES WORK?
A mass tort lawsuit allows multiple people with similar complaints to file an individual lawsuit against the same defendant. If you are considering joining a mass tort lawsuit, here is an overview of the mass torts process:
FILING
A mass tort lawyer will file a lawsuit against the negligent party on behalf of each individual plaintiff. Consolidating many cases into one mass tort action strengthens each case and helps the process run more efficiently.
DISCOVERY
During this phase, your attorney will gather information related to your case. We will investigate your claim that you were injured by the defendant’s negligence. We will collect your medical records to substantiate your injuries and to establish a timeline. This can involve interviewing expert witnesses and healthcare providers, reviewing medical literature, and gathering other evidence to bolster your case.
TRIAL
Typically, the lawsuit will be tried in federal court as a multidistrict litigation action with plaintiffs in multiple locations. A few key plaintiffs may proceed first as “bellwether trials.” These trials act as test cases so that we can see how the jury will react and help us predict the outcome of the larger lawsuit.
settlement
Lawsuits frequently resolve through an out-of-court settlement. Many plaintiffs and defendants prefer to settle out of court because it is faster and easier. Court trials are lengthy, and there is no guarantee of the outcome for either side. Settlements provide everyone with a concrete outcome.
Because each plaintiff in a mass tort lawsuit retains their individual lawsuit, your settlement will be based on your own injuries. You may not receive the same settlement as other plaintiffs who may have slightly different injuries than you.
WHY SHOULD I FILE A CLAIM?
Although the mass tort process frequently takes several years to settle, the process itself is necessary. Pursuing a claim with the help of our dedicated legal team could set you up for a positive recovery and improved financial, physical, and emotional well-being.
