Who Can File a Mass Tort Claim?

Are you unsure if you qualify for a mass tort claim? If you have suffered an injury, illness, or financial loss (whether directly or indirectly) because of a defective product, medical device, or environmental hazard, you may be qualified for a mass tort participation. You may qualify even more if others have suffered the same or similar injuries. Different factors determine eligibility for mass tort cases including time (statutes of limitation), proof of harm, and your location.

Mass tort lawyers almost always give free consultations to tell you about your situation. They can tell you whether your claim fits into their ongoing litigation or if it can start a new one. In most cases it is better for plaintiffs to take steps sooner rather than later to avoid jeopardizing their right to compensation.
