WHAT IS A MASS TORT?

A mass tort is a legal action in which many plaintiffs file individual lawsuits against one or a few defendants for harm caused by the same product, event, or action. The plaintiffs typically suffer similar injuries, but the lawsuits are handled individually, unlike in a class action lawsuit, where a single lawsuit is filed on behalf of a large group of people.  Mass torts aim to provide fair compensation to victims while addressing common issues of fact and law related to the underlying cause of harm.  

Cases involving harmful drugs, medical devices, environmental disasters, or product defects often result in mass tort claims.  ASK, LLP specializes in Mass Tort cases representing individuals who have been harmed by dangerous products, defective medical devices, harmful drugs, or large-scale environmental disasters.

Mass Torts

Jun 09, 2023
What is a Mass Tort

Cases where individuals have been injured are known as a “tort.” Occasionally, a large corporation or other entity engages in courses of action that harm hundreds or thousands of individuals. This type of case is often referred to as a “mass tort.” As explained by the Federal Judicial Center at 342-344, a mass tort emerges “when an event or series of related events injure a large number of people or damage their property.” Mass torts may arise after a faulty product causes a large number of injuries. They may be the result of corporate negligence resulting in undisclosed pharmaceutical side effects, defective medical devices, wildfires, toxic pollution, widespread child abuse, or foodborne illness.
