What is a Mass Tort lawsuit?

 

A Mass Tort lawsuit is appropriate when the claims of any one individual is not enough to punish a company for their egregious actions. In these scenarios, the individual injuries may be different but they are all caused by similair actions or products. Grouping the complaints together allow for plaintiffs to be apart of a bigger claim all while keeping the individual characteristics of their case. For example, if a drug was released to the market that causes illness to a consumer. Although, the illness may have been caused by the same drug, the severity of the illness may differ from consumer to consumer. The complexity of each individual case keeps from grouping these cases in one class and filing a class action suit, so mass tort actions are more appropriate in these scenarios.
