What Is a Mass Tort?
A mass tort is a legal action in which multiple individuals seek compensation after suffering similar harm from the same product, corporation, or event, such as a defective product, dangerous drug, or environmental catastrophe.
Unlike a class action lawsuit, mass torts allow each plaintiff to file individual claims and seek compensation for their unique injuries and damages. Our mass tort attorneys are well-versed in these legal complexities and highly skilled in handling large-scale litigation to advocate for the fair settlement you deserve.

Frequently Asked Questions About Mass Torts in West Virginia
-
How Are Mass Torts Different from Class Action Lawsuits?
Mass tort cases and class action lawsuits both involve multiple plaintiffs seeking justice for harm caused by a common defendant. However, there are important distinctions between the two:
Class Action
In a class action lawsuit, all plaintiffs are treated as a single group with one representative case, and any settlement or outcome applies uniformly to all members of the class.
Mass Tort
Mass tort lawsuits recognize that damages and circumstances can vary greatly between plaintiffs. Each claim is assessed individually in mass tort cases, allowing victims to seek compensation that reflects their unique situation and losses.
-
What Is the Process for Joining a Mass Tort Case?

In cases involving extreme misconduct, punitive damages may also be awarded to punish the defendant and deter similar behavior in the future. No matter the severity of your injuries, working with a trusted mass tort lawyer is essential to calculate the total damages available to you and pursue maximum compensation.
-
