What is a Mass Tort?
A mass tort is a civil action from numerous plaintiffs – usually several hundred at least – against the same set of defendants. The lawsuits all involve similar losses or harm, such as multiple people who have suffered the same unsafe side effects after taking a dangerous prescription drug.
Unlike a class action lawsuit that brings all plaintiffs into one singular entity, plaintiffs in mass torts are seen as individuals who must pursue individual claims for personalized damages. Additionally, mass torts are more common where the injuries suffered by each plaintiff are unique and the facts of each case differ, so it would be fairer to represent each person individually.
What Is the Purpose of Mass Torts?
Joining all the injured plaintiffs together in a mass tort proceeding alleviates some of the burden on the courts. Instead of hearing hundreds of individual cases, one court can preside over many cases in one coordinated proceeding allowing the two sides to litigate the case more efficiently.
