Who Can File a Mass Tort Lawsuit?

If you or someone you love was injured by a defective product, unsafe medication or exposure to a toxic chemical, you may be able to file a mass tort lawsuit. Mass torts are meant for people who have been harmed, in similar ways, and from the same product or medication. The unique aspect of a mass tort lawsuit is that each individual's pain and suffering injury claim is settled and compensated separately, and is reflective of the injury suffered by the individual. Many mass torts involve medical issues and so it will be important to collect all of your medical records with an outline of dates, and any timeframes relating to the possible injury. It is important that you talk to a law firm that specializes in mass tort litigation to see if your case qualifies as a mass tort Case, and for guidance on your next steps.
