A mass tort is a type of legal action that allows many people, harmed in similar ways by the same product or company, to pursue justice together. Unlike a class action — where one case represents all victims — a mass tort treats each client’s case individually. This means compensation is based on each person’s unique injuries, while still benefiting from the collective strength of pursuing a case as a group.
Mass tort cases often involve:
- Defective Products – medical devices, dangerous drugs, or faulty consumer goods.
- Corporate Negligence – companies putting profits ahead of safety.
-
Toxic Exposure – environmental hazards such as contaminated water or harmful chemicals.
Examples include the 3M earplug lawsuits filed by veterans, the Roundup weed killer cases, and baby formula lawsuits tied to NEC in premature infants.
