Mass Tort
About Mass Tort
In the realm of legal practice, mass tort litigation refers to civil actions involving numerous plaintiffs who have suffered similar harm from a common defendant or defendants. These cases typically arise when a defective product, hazardous substance, or negligent corporate behavior causes widespread injuries or damages. Mass torts differ from class action lawsuits in that each plaintiff’s case is treated individually, allowing for variations in circumstances and damages.
