What Is a Mass Tort?

A mass tort is a legal action where multiple individuals suffering similar harm from the same source file claims against the responsible party. Unlike class action lawsuits, each plaintiff’s claim is treated individually, considering their unique circumstances, including the type and extent of their injuries.

Mass torts play a critical role in holding corporations accountable when widespread harm results from defective products, environmental contamination, or negligent acts. Each case amplifies the voices of those affected and discourages future corporate wrongdoing.

Opioid Litigation

Our attorneys have a long history of holding manufacturers, distributors, and other parties accountable for their roles in the opioid crisis. These cases often involve deceptive marketing, improper distribution, or neglect of addiction and overdose risks. We work to secure fair outcomes for affected individuals and communities while addressing broader public health concerns.

Insulin Price Fixing

Insulin price fixing occurs when companies collude to inflate the cost of a life-saving medication, placing a heavy financial burden on patients and families. Our attorneys pursue justice for those impacted by these practices, holding companies accountable for their actions.

Toxic tort cases involve injury or illness from exposure to harmful chemicals, substances, or environmental hazards, such as industrial chemicals, pesticides, asbestos, or contaminated water.
