Mass Torts
Key Characteristics
Mass torts involve many plaintiffs who may have been affected similarly but have unique circumstances, such as varying levels of injury or damage.
There’s usually a single, powerful defendant or a few defendants, often large corporations or manufacturers responsible for producing a harmful product or creating a dangerous situation.
Plaintiffs retain their individual claims rather than combining them into a single suit. Each case is evaluated on its specifics, though consolidated litigation may occur to streamline the process.
These cases can proceed in either federal or state courts, depending on jurisdictional rules and the nature of the claims. The cases are often combined in multidistrict litigation (MDL) for pretrial proceedings.
