What Are Mass Torts?
Put simply, torts are personal injuries caused by the negligence, carelessness, or irresponsible actions of another person or entity. Mass torts, on the other hand, occur when a company’s negligence broadly affects many people and causes injury, suffering, and/or death in a sizable number of people. If you and other injured individuals join in a mass tort case against a company or group of offending companies, you will receive an individualized settlement or verdict if your case is successful. A mass tort claim may be a better option if you and others who have been negatively affected by a company’s negligence have suffered dissimilar injuries and damages.
What’s the Difference Between a Class Action Lawsuit and Mass Tort Litigation?
In a class action lawsuit, consumers harmed by a company’s negligent behavior suffer nearly identical injuries and join together to bring a claim against the offending entity. Many people choose the class action route in order to minimize legal fees and bolster the legitimacy of their claim. When class action lawsuits settle or the court issues a verdict, those bringing the class action receive equal shares of the payout. However, in order to effectively join a class action or prove that you have a class action case, you must be able to prove that all plaintiffs suffered calculable losses and very similar injuries.
