What is a Mass Tort?

A mass tort is an act or omission that harms numerous individuals. They are groupings of individual lawsuits alleging the same issues against the same defendant(s), frequently involving multidistrict litigation.

How Mass Torts Work

Cases are consolidated into MDL where a single judge oversees the discovery phase. The court selects bellwether cases to go to trial first. Throughout this process, your case remains your own.

Key Aspects of Bellwether Trials

Purpose: Gauge potential liability without trying thousands of individual cases.

Process: Courts select representative cases from a larger MDL to proceed first.

Outcome: Results often dictate whether remaining lawsuits settle or proceed.
