Our Focus: Mass Torts
We focus exclusively on complex litigation that demands accountability from the most powerful industries. Our mass tort practice spans pharmaceutical, environmental, and consumer cases, representing thousands of individuals and communities seeking justice nationwide.
What Is a Mass Tort?
Mass tort cases involve legal actions where multiple individuals file claims against a corporation or entity for harm caused by a single product, event, or action. Unlike class actions, where claims are grouped into one lawsuit with a shared resolution, mass tort cases allow each plaintiff to file an individual claim. These cases take individual damages into account, allowing independent outcomes for each individual affected.
Holding corporations accountable in these cases not only addresses the harm suffered by individuals but also aims to deter future negligent or unethical practices. This commitment to justice helps protect both the harmed parties and the broader public by encouraging better corporate responsibility.
Mass Tort Case Areas
Our team is highly experienced in handling a wide range of mass tort cases, including those involving opioid litigation, insulin price fixing, and toxic torts. We are prepared to take on complex legal challenges and provide dedicated support for those seeking justice.
Opioid Litigation
Opioid litigation focuses on holding pharmaceutical companies, distributors, and other responsible parties accountable for their role in fueling the opioid crisis. These cases address deceptive marketing practices, overprescription, and the widespread availability of opioids, which have caused significant harm to individuals, families, and communities.
Our goal in pursuing these cases involves achieving justice for victims by securing compensation for their suffering and medical expenses while also advocating for systemic change to prevent future public health crises. Through these efforts, we strive to create accountability and promote safer practices within the pharmaceutical industry.

Frequently Asked Questions About Mass Torts in Michigan
-
How Do Mass Torts Differ from Class Actions?
Mass torts and class actions are legal mechanisms used to address cases involving numerous individuals impacted by a common issue, yet they differ significantly in structure and approach. In a class action, all plaintiffs are treated as a single entity and are represented collectively by a lead plaintiff. The case is resolved with a unified outcome applied to all members of the class.
On the other hand, mass torts treat each plaintiff as an individual, allowing for personalized claims and outcomes based on unique circumstances, such as the degree of harm suffered. Mass tort cases are often consolidated for efficiency during the pre-trial process, but each plaintiff retains control of their individual claim, offering a more tailored resolution compared to the one-size-fits-all approach associated with class actions.

How Do I Know If I Have a Mass Tort Case?
Determining whether you have a mass tort case begins with evaluating the harm or injury you have experienced and identifying if it is linked to a larger group of individuals who have suffered similar harm. Typically, mass tort cases involve defective products, dangerous pharmaceuticals, toxic exposure, or catastrophic events where negligence affects numerous people.
Start by assessing if your situation involves negligence or misconduct by a company or organization. Gathering evidence, such as medical records, product information, or detailed accounts of the incident, can help establish the connection between your harm and the broader issue. Then, schedule a free consultation with our Florida mass tort lawyers. We can assess your case, explain your rights, and determine if your claim aligns with the criteria for a mass tort.
-
How Long Do Mass Tort Cases Take to Resolve?
The timeline for resolving mass tort cases can vary greatly depending on the complexity of the case, the number of plaintiffs involved, and the legal process itself. On average, these cases can take several years to reach a resolution, as they often involve extensive investigations, pre-trial motions, discovery phases, and potential settlement negotiations. Factors like the volume of evidence, court schedules, and the willingness of the defendant to settle can all influence the duration. While some cases may settle more quickly if liability is straightforward, others may proceed to trial, which can significantly extend the timeframe. We can walk you through what to expect and provide transparent communication on case progress from start to finish.
-
Can I Join a Mass Tort Case Filed in Another State If I Live in Florida?
Yes, you can typically join a mass tort even if you live in a different state from where the case is being filed. Mass tort cases often involve plaintiffs from multiple states who have experienced similar harm due to a specific product, medication, or action. Jurisdiction is usually determined based on factors such as where the defendant operates or where the harm occurred.
Our firm is experienced in representing clients from various locations and coordinating the necessary legal steps to include eligible individuals in the case. We can determine your eligibility and help you understand how your location may interact with the specifics of the case.
