What Are Mass Torts?

Mass torts are legal actions involving multiple individuals harmed by the same dangerous product, negligent act, or hazardous condition. Mass tort cases involve a large group of individual claims against a common defendant. The mass tort litigation approach with individual lawsuits against the same defendant matches the complexity and scale of large corporate negligence cases. Our mass tort litigation attorneys at Flynn Greathouse are experienced in these cases and prepared to pursue the appropriate compensation injury victims and their families need.

Unlike class action lawsuits, where each claim involving multiple plaintiffs and claims with the same issues is treated as one case, mass torts allow each plaintiff to maintain their own unique claim while sharing resources and evidence with others in similar situations involving similar or the same injuries. There may be one or more defendants involved. While there may be many plaintiffs suing the same defendant, and they may have many of the same injuries, there would be one plaintiff per claim. We address several of the most frequently asked questions in our mass torts FAQs below.

Depending on the details of your situation, there may be mass tort actions our mass tort lawyer team at Flynn Greathouse can pursue on your behalf without upfront costs. We handle the legal components, and our clients only pay for our services if we win money for them. We are ready to assess the validity of your claim during a free case evaluation. If you believe you may have a mass tort, class action, or other injury claim involving dangerous products or the negligence of a company, you need to contact a personal injury law firm that handles mass tort claims. Request a free consultation today by calling us at (888) 82-FG-LAW(888) 82-FG-LAW or filling out our online form so we can assess your case for potential mass tort litigation.

What You Need To Know If You Think You May Have a Mass Tort Claim

Our mass tort attorneys at Flynn Greathouse help injury victims identify their options to seek money to support their recovery and compensate for harms and losses due to a company’s negligence. If you or a loved one suffered an injury, we invite you to tell us what happened so we can guide your next steps and handle your potential mass tort claim.

There may already be a large group of plaintiffs suing through mass tort or class action lawsuits. We can assess your specific case to consider whether there is a class representative for plaintiffs like yourself, whether there have been mass tort bellwether trials similar to your case that might illustrate the potential of your case, or whether class action cases would be the right path for your case. If you have suffered an injury and are considering a mass torts claim, we will investigate whether a mass tort claim already exists for your injury, build your case with evidence, and pursue your claim through the appropriate process.

The civil procedure for mass tort cases involves multiple people over multiple years. The following are key considerations we can address as they pertain to your specific injury case:

• Potential Compensation: Injury victims or their families with valid mass cases can seek significant financial compensation for serious injuries that were caused by a corporation or organization. We seek money to account for medical treatment and other expenses related to your injury, as well as pain and suffering. If the incident led to a catastrophic injury or a wrongful death, our attorneys at Flynn Greathouse can account for these accordingly and guide you to pursue compensation.
• Act Now To File on Time: Filing deadlines known as the Statute of Limitations may apply, underscoring the importance of promptly requesting a free consultation to evaluate your claim.

Your Opportunity to Act

Corporations and manufacturers have a responsibility to protect consumers, workers, and the public from harm. Injury victims need to hold these entities accountable when they fail to meet this responsibility and harm occurs due to their carelessness. At Flynn Greathouse, we help injury victims and their families seek the money they need for compensation through mass tort cases.

Taking legal action through a mass tort claim not only allows you to pursue financial compensation for medical bills, lost income, and emotional distress, but it also sends a powerful message that negligent behavior will not go unchecked.

We Serve Injury Victims and Their Families Nationwide Throughout The United States

Our committed legal team at Flynn Greathouse will assess your case when you request a consultation. If you have a valid mass torts claim, we will explain the appropriate path to seek compensation, which may involve federal claims or state claims:

Federal Claims

• Multidistrict Litigation (MDL or Multi-District Litigation): Claims consolidated in federal court for pretrial proceedings, often involving nationwide issues like defective drugs or toxic exposure (e.g., Roundup litigation).
• Federal Statutory Violations: Cases involving breaches of federal laws, such as the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act or the Clean Water Act.
• Interstate Commerce Impact: Claims involving products or actions that affect multiple states, invoking federal jurisdiction under the federal rules of the Commerce Clause.

State Claims

• Product Liability: Injury claims based on state laws addressing defective products, including design defects, manufacturing flaws, or inadequate warnings.

• Environmental Damage: Claims addressing localized harm from pollution or contamination, typically filed in state courts.
• Consumer Protection Violations: Cases involving breaches of state consumer protection statutes, such as false advertising or unfair trade practices.

Did You Suffer a Catastrophic Injury?

A catastrophic injury is a profoundly severe injury that leads to long-term or permanent impairment, disability, or disfigurement. Such injuries often disrupt a person’s ability to work, live independently, or engage in daily activities as they once did.

Common types of catastrophic injuries include:

• Spinal Cord Injuries that may lead to paralysis, including paraplegia and quadriplegia
• Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI) causing cognitive, neurological, or functional impairments
• Severe Burns requiring extensive grafting, surgical procedures, and prolonged medical care
• Limb Amputations, whether due to trauma or necessary surgical intervention
• Multiple Fractures or Crush Injuries leading to significant physical trauma
• Loss of Vision or Hearing, either partially or completely
• Organ Damage or Internal Bleeding with potentially life-threatening consequences

In addition to the use of a dangerous or defective products, catastrophic injuries often stem from:

• Car and truck accidents
• Industrial or construction site incidents
• Falls from height
• Medical negligence
• Violent acts due to negligent security

Our experienced injury attorneys at Flynn Greathouse can guide you to seek appropriate compensation for the many expenses and losses you have suffered and may continue to suffer due to a severe or catastrophic injury caused by a negligent person or company.

You May Be Able to Pursue a Wrongful Death Claim If You Lost a Loved One Due To a Fatal Injury

A wrongful death claim is a civil lawsuit brought when someone’s life is tragically cut short due to another party’s negligence, misconduct, or carelessness. Unlike criminal cases, which aim to punish the wrongdoer, wrongful death lawsuits focus on seeking financial compensation for the deceased’s surviving family members.

In addition to Defective or dangerous products (including motor vehicle or medical product defects), some of the common causes of wrongful death include:

• Fatal car and truck accidents
• Medical malpractice
• Workplace injuries or accidents
• Nursing home neglect or abuse
• Slip and fall accidents
• Violent crimes resulting from negligent security

Each state has specific laws governing who can file a claim, the types of compensation that may be available, and the deadlines for taking legal action. At Flynn Greathouse, we handle these complex, state-specific legal matters on your behalf so you can focus on what truly matters: healing and honoring your loved one’s memory. We can explore your options for a potential wrongful death claim and/or mass tort claim during your free consultation.
