What Is a Mass Tort?

A mass tort is a type of civil lawsuit our New Hampshire mass tort lawyers handle, bringing together many people harmed by the same negligent act, whether it’s a dangerous prescription drug, a defective medical device, environmental contamination, or a corporate practice that puts profits over people. Unlike class actions, each person’s claim is handled individually, but by sharing evidence, resources, and legal strategies, plaintiffs strengthen their cases and increase the impact against large corporations.

For communities here, mass tort litigation is a way to hold powerful companies accountable when their actions cause widespread harm. Instead of fighting alone, individuals and families can join with others to pursue meaningful compensation and systemic change that protects neighbors, towns, and future generations.
