Mass Torts

About Mass Torts

Mass tort cases arise when many people are harmed by the same product, drug, or substance. Unlike a class action, which combines similar claims into one lawsuit with a single shared outcome, a mass tort keeps each person's claim individual even when cases are coordinated together (often in multidistrict litigation), so any recovery reflects that person's own harm. In California, the time to act generally starts when you discover that your injury is linked to the product or exposure. Recoverable damages may include medical costs, lost income, and pain and suffering. Consider sharing a few details and connecting with a California attorney.
