Holding large companies accountable can be intimidating. But the law, fortunately, allows people in similar circumstances the opportunity to level the playing field by banding together in either a class action or mass tort.

If you or a loved one were hurt in any of the following or some other class action or mass tort, we can explain your eligibility and how to secure max compensation.
Some of the current class action & mass tort cases we’re handling include:
Class action lawsuits are brought on by a group of people who have been harmed by the same company, product, person, or other entity. They are an effective way to manage complex litigation involving many individuals and give a case strength in numbers.
In a mass tort claim, one attorney or a group of attorneys can represent numerous people who were injured by a particular product, like a dangerous drug or defective medical device.
However, each person retains his or her own individual claim rather than becoming part of a single claim as in a class action.
Mass torts allow you to be represented as an individual and pursue your own case but also pool resources with other attorneys and plaintiffs handling similar claims.
This makes litigation more efficient and cost-effective because you retain the ability to come to an individual settlement or verdict that you don’t have to divide among other plaintiffs.
Mass torts are frequently used in cases involving dangerous medications or faulty medical devices. For example, you may have taken a prescribed drug for years, only to discover years later that it causes heart problems.
Additionally, poorly designed, manufactured, tested, and labeled devices can contribute to significant pain and loss. What makes the situation even worse is when these items are used nationwide. The effects can be widespread and affect thousands, or even millions, of people.
When a group of people is harmed in similar circumstances or injured by the same product, they may combine their legal efforts in one of two ways: a class action or mass tort claim. While there are important differences, the main benefits of pursuing either are to lower costs, pool resources, and pursue larger financial recoveries.
