What if... The System Worked For the People, not just the powerful?
What Is a Mass Tort?
A mass tort is a type of legal case that occurs when multiple individuals suffer harm from the same product, event, or action caused by a corporation or entity. Unlike class actions, where plaintiffs form a single group with identical claims, mass tort cases allow individuals to file separate claims tailored to their unique experiences and injuries. This distinction provides each person with the opportunity to present the specific impact of the harm they endured.
Mass torts play an extremely important role in holding corporations accountable when their actions or negligence cause widespread harm. By pursuing these cases, individuals can seek justice and demand meaningful change from companies that prioritize profits over safety or responsibility.
Mass Tort Case Areas
Farrell & Fuller is equipped with the resources, experience, and dedication needed to handle complex mass tort cases across a variety of areas. We are committed to pursuing justice for those affected by widespread harm, leveraging our skills and knowledge to stand up against powerful entities.
Opioid Litigation
Opioid litigation typically involves holding pharmaceutical companies, distributors, and other entities accountable for their role in the opioid epidemic. These cases often focus on deceptive marketing practices, failure to monitor distribution channels, and negligence that have contributed to widespread addiction and devastating consequences for individuals and communities.
Our aim with these cases is to seek justice for those harmed, secure compensation to aid in recovery and support, and drive meaningful change to prevent future harm. By addressing these negligent practices, we strive to advocate for the victims and promote greater accountability within the pharmaceutical industry.

Frequently Asked Questions About Mass Torts in California
-
What Is the Process for Joining a Mass Tort Case?
Joining a mass tort case involves taking several key steps to protect and enforce your rights. The first step is to schedule a consultation with an experienced mass tort attorney, like those at Farrell & Fuller, who can evaluate your case and determine if it aligns with the mass tort case. During this phase, you will share details about your experience, including any harm or injuries sustained and any relevant documentation, such as medical records or receipts.
If your case qualifies, the next step is filing the necessary paperwork to formally join the mass tort litigation. We can handle this on your behalf and work collaboratively to include your claim among the broader group of plaintiffs. Throughout the legal process, we will manage communications and updates related to your case so that you can remain informed and involved in significant developments. By taking these steps, you can collectively seek justice and accountability for widespread harm.
-
How Much Does It Cost to Pursue a Mass Tort Case?
One of the advantages of working with our California mass tort lawyers is we work on a contingency fee basis. This means that you typically do not pay any upfront costs or hourly fees. Instead, our firm receives a percentage of the final settlement or court award if your case is successful.
We also generally cover upfront expenses related to filing fees, expert witnesses, and investigation costs during the legal process. This arrangement reduces your financial burden and makes participating in mass tort litigation more accessible, regardless of your economic situation. We can discuss all potential costs and fee structures with you during your initial consultation so that you can fully understand the financial aspects of your case.
-
What Types of Compensation Can I Receive in a Mass Tort Case?
Victims in mass tort cases may pursue various forms of compensation based on the damages they have experienced. Compensatory damages often fall under two main categories: economic and non-economic.
Economic damages cover measurable financial losses, such as medical expenses, lost wages, and costs related to ongoing treatments or therapies. Non-economic damages address intangible losses, including pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life. In some cases, courts may also award punitive damages to penalize defendants for particularly egregious misconduct and deter similar actions in the future. We can work with you to help accurately document all of your losses so that we can seek the maximum compensation you are entitled to under the law.
-
Can I Join a Mass Tort Case Filed in Another State If I Live in California?
The location of the case, often determined by the defendant's operations or where significant harm occurred, does not typically restrict your ability to participate. With that said, you must meet specific criteria to qualify as a plaintiff in the mass tort. These criteria typically involve proving that your injuries or damages are directly linked to the defendant's actions or product. We can help you understand your eligibility and the steps required to participate, even if the case is filed out of state.
