Definition of a Mass Tort

The Boynton Beach mass tort lawyers at Kogan & DiSalvo handle many types of mass tort litigation, including:

• Pharmaceutical products
• Medical devices
• Products and other devices
• Toxic torts involving environmental and catastrophic events

A mass tort is a collection of individual claims filed by multiple people against one or few defendants. All of the people who filed the claims are seeking damages for injury or harm caused by a product or an event (such as an environmental spill). Although mass torts are similar to class actions, the important difference between mass torts and class actions is this: each mass tort plaintiff has an individual and unique claim and distinct damages.

Listed below, you will see some of the specific products that fall under the categories above.
