Mass Tort Lawsuits: Everything You Need to Know
Sometimes, products have hidden dangers that do not come to light for many years after they are released to the public. By that point, they have often been widely used, and the danger they pose has been allowed to manifest itself across the people who purchased and used them regularly. This kind of far-reaching harm often involves everyday products such as medications or household items, but can also encompass environmental contamination. When a company’s actions pose a danger to a wide class of people, the company must be held liable for the harm it has caused to countless innocent people.
Individuals have a right to bring claims against companies responsible for their injuries. When a product hurts thousands of people, however, it can be almost impossible to ensure that everyone gets their day in court in a timely fashion. A mass tort lawsuit allows plaintiffs to combine the claims, evidence, and plaintiffs for these types of injuries into a single, powerful case. This expedites the process in court, benefiting the plaintiffs and delivering justice more swiftly than if everyone filed separately.
