Our firm is known in the Texas legal community for its commitment to quality representation for the injured.

What You Should Know About Mass Torts

A mass tort is a claim brought by multiple plaintiffs. Unlike the more familiar class-action lawsuit, a mass tort names specific injured parties. At our office, you are more than a statistic or faceless complainant. You are our priority, and you get our attention.

Examples of cases that our mass torts lawyers in Texas handle include:

Medical complications caused by defective vaginal mesh implantations
Kidney and liver damage and other injuries caused by exposure to chemicals from local plants
Injuries caused by multi-passenger vehicle crashes like bus, train or airplane wrecks
Broken bones or lacerations caused by defectively designed toys or products

Mass torts allow injured individuals to pool their resources and build a wider range of evidence. By working your case in tandem, our firm helps you access the resources you need to recover.

Is a Mass Tort Like a Class Action?

In some ways, yes, but they’re quite different in outcome. Both kinds of litigation help a large group of people seek damages from a defendant. The difference is how the plaintiffs get treated by the court and how the settlements work.

In mass tort cases, each victim is treated like an individual. Once a few plaintiffs win, the courts will determine facts you’ll need to prove to win your case. They will also set rules for compensation amounts depending on the amount of harm you suffered.

In class actions, all the plaintiffs are considered one group, led by a lead plaintiff. If they win the case, they split the damages among the entire class. These cases involve very specific plaintiffs who meet qualifications. Mass torts are broader and often get limited to a geographic area.

How Long Do Mass Tort Cases Take?

Both sides have a lot to lose in a mass tort case, and it can take years to settle all the cases fully. It could take years. However, if you win your case, chances are good you could receive significant compensation.

Your lawyer can tell you how far the mass tort action has advanced when you join the group. For example, if an MDL (multidistrict litigation) is formed, that means the courts feel there’s a good chance the victims have a valid complaint.
