Mass Torts: An Overview

A tort is a wrongful act that causes harm to another person. A mass tort, therefore, is a wrongful act – typically committed by a large company – that harms many people. Those who are injured may be able to sue the wrongdoer to recoup their losses.

In a mass tort, multiple plaintiffs file civil cases against a defendant. All are making similar claims about damages from a product or service they used. Examples include injuries stemming from prescription drugs, medical devices, and faulty products.

A tort case makes the claim that the plaintiff incurred a loss – whether physical, financial, and/or emotional – that the at-fault party is responsible to pay for. Although the victims may have been affected in different manners and to varying degrees, the common thread in mass torts is that a single product or service is being blamed for these negative outcomes. 

Mass Torts vs. Class Actions

Mass torts and class actions are similar in that they both involve multiple individuals who have been harmed by a negligent party. However, they are distinct from one another in how the plaintiffs are treated.

  • Class Actions: In a class action, all claimants are part of a group that needs to prove wrongdoing, and participants are represented collectively. Those in the class all have the same injury or loss. For example, multiple people affected by a data breach may take part in a class action lawsuit.
  • Mass Torts: In a mass tort, each member of the group has an individual claim. Participants commonly suffer similar injuries, but the extent of the damages is evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Mass torts generally yield larger settlements and verdicts than class actions.

Benefits of Mass Torts

Mass torts have become a common legal mechanism for the victims of big businesses and governments. By combining your claim with other similar claims, you can:

  • Streamline the legal process
  • Ensure that all applicable arguments are applied in every case
  • Build the strongest case for compensation by demonstrating the wide-ranging negative effects of the product
  • Give yourself the best opportunity at recovering fair compensation
  • Help drive change that will prevent future injuries

Types of Damages Available

Because every case is evaluated individually, the damages awarded to plaintiffs can vary. Depending on your specific losses, a successful case may help you recover various costs including:

  • Past and future medical costs (e.g., hospital stays, medication, physical therapy, surgery, and rehabilitation)
  • Lost wages for time missed from work
  • Reduced earning capacity
  • Disfigurement
  • Temporary or permanent disability
  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional stress
