Mass Tort Cases in the Age of Social Media

Today many mass tort cases are ignited through the internet. Social media is successful in assisting people in finding similar experiences through awareness, sharing personal stories the awareness of wrongful conduct by organizations. A single complaint that gets posted on a forum or video can quickly generate traction that leads to viral awareness of the same harm occurring to many others. Interviewing locally, nationwide, or globally about their similar situations creates inertia for many law firms to participate by doing an investigation to see if they can pursue it as a mass tort. If you learned that there were not just one other person sharing an experience like yours online, but you found many reported similar occurrences that was traumatic for you then you should be doing your research. The social media platforms could lead you to relevant legal representation.
