About Mass Torts
What is a mass tort case?
A mass tort case is a type of legal action where many people are injured by the same defective product, dangerous drug, or negligent company. Each plaintiff files an individual claim, but the cases are handled together in court to make the process more efficient. This allows victims to seek compensation for their specific damages while benefiting from the strength of a group.
How is a mass tort different from a class action lawsuit?
In a class action, all plaintiffs are treated as one group and typically share a single settlement. In a mass tort, each plaintiff keeps an individual case. This means compensation can vary depending on the severity of injuries and damages, giving victims a fairer outcome.
What types of mass tort cases does Mass Torts Co. handle?
We connect victims with top attorneys for a wide range of cases, including defective drugs, harmful medical devices, environmental hazards, consumer product failures, and other large-scale injury claims. If you’ve been harmed by a product or company, we can help determine if your case qualifies.
Why are mass tort lawsuits important for injured victims?
Mass torts hold powerful companies accountable for negligence while giving injured victims a chance to fight back. Without them, many people would never receive compensation for medical costs, lost wages, and pain and suffering. Mass torts level the playing field against corporations with vast resources.
Case Eligibility
How do I know if I qualify for a mass tort claim?
Eligibility depends on your injury, medical history, and whether your experience is linked to the product, drug, or company in question. Our team provides free evaluations to help determine if you qualify.
What information or documents do I need to provide?
Typically, you’ll need medical records, prescriptions, proof of product use, or other evidence connecting your injury to the defendant. Don’t worry if you don’t have everything — we’ll guide you step by step.
Can I still join a mass tort if I already filed a lawsuit on my own?
In some cases, yes. Depending on your claim’s status, you may be able to join or have your case consolidated. A qualified attorney can review your situation and advise you.
What if my injury happened years ago — do I still qualify?
You may still be eligible, depending on the statute of limitations in your state. These deadlines vary, so it’s important to act quickly to protect your rights.
Process & Timelines
How long does it take for a mass tort case to settle?
Timelines vary widely. Some cases resolve in months, while others may take years. Factors include the complexity of the case, the number of plaintiffs, and negotiations with defendants. Our team will keep you informed throughout the process.
What happens after I sign up with Mass Torts Co.?
We’ll connect you with experienced attorneys who review your case, gather evidence, and file your claim. From there, they’ll handle negotiations, court filings, and communications on your behalf.
Will I have to go to court for my mass tort case?
Most plaintiffs never step foot in court. Many cases settle before trial. If your case does go to court, your attorney will guide and represent you every step of the way.
What is the statute of limitations for filing a mass tort claim?
The statute of limitations varies by state and type of case. Some allow only one or two years from the date of injury, while others provide more time. It’s best to get legal help immediately so you don’t miss your window to file.
Fees & Costs
Do I have to pay any upfront legal fees?
No. Most mass tort attorneys work on a contingency fee basis. That means you pay nothing upfront and nothing out-of-pocket.
How do contingency fees work in mass tort cases?
With a contingency fee, the attorney only gets paid if your case is successful. Their payment is a percentage of the settlement or verdict, agreed upon in advance. This ensures legal help is accessible to everyone.
What happens if I don't win my case — will I owe anything?
No. If your case is unsuccessful, you don’t owe attorney fees. This risk-free structure allows you to pursue justice without financial worry.
