Louisville Mass Tort Attorney

Many times, victims do not suffer injuries alone. Other people in similar situations face the same types of injuries or losses because of a single, over-reaching problem. Instead of a single event, such as a car accident, mass tort cases typically are types of losses multiple people have from a single source.

By working with a Louisville personal injury lawyer from Gary C. Johnson, Attorneys at Law, P.S.C., you can expect compassionate support and reliable legal representation as we help you get justice.

 

What Is a Mass Tort?

Mass tort litigation is the process in which a group of people suffering harm in the same fashion can pool their resources together to hold an organization accountable for the injuries they have. There are many types of mass tort claims, often involving factors such as medication side effects, product failures, or chemical exposures.

These are complex cases, but by pooling resources, it is possible for individuals to take on larger organizations to hold them accountable for the losses incurred.

Types of Mass Tort Claims

Numerous types of mass tort claims exist. They can include any type of situation in which multiple people suffer similar outcomes and losses. Some examples of the types of mass tort claims we often see include:

Dangerous Products

If a product is unsafe, the manufacturer provides limited or ineffective information to consumers that they need to use that product safely, or the product otherwise causes loss.

There are three specific types of liability related to these torts: manufacturing defects, or products suffering some defect while being produced, design defects, which are errors that stem from the design of the product, or improper warnings or instructions.

Toxic Substance Exposure

This type of mass tort involves either illness or injury due to chemical or toxin exposure. There are various ways that exposure can occur, such as coming into contact with a chemical due to an unsafe work environment or toxins found in pharmaceutical drugs. Products that are dangerous may expose a person to mold or asbestos, for example.

Medical Device-Related Failures

Defective drugs or medical devices are another common type of mass tort, which may apply to any type of dangerous or defective device or medication that causes damage, including defects in the product, failure to warn about risks, or unintended side effects not reported.

Natural Disasters

Another type of mass tort may focus around natural disasters, specifically in large-scale events. This may include storm events, for example. Though these are some of the most complex claims to prove, since showing the entity must be directly responsible for the losses is challenging, they apply when failures to protect or warn occur.

Large-Scale Catastrophes

Man-made catastrophes are another type of mass tort claim. They often involve instances that impact more than one home or an area. This could include, for example, a manufacturing plant’s release of toxins into local watersheds or an explosion that happens at a local business.

How a Mass Tort Attorney Can Help You Win Your Case

Mass tort cases can be complex, and they often involve numerous factors that all must work together to prove your loss and provide you with the recovery you desire. If you have been hurt by a product that has impacted other people in the same way, it is possible for you to seek compensation for your injuries.

There are several ways in which our attorneys can help you navigate these challenging situations:

• Claims are often consolidated in multidistrict litigation. That means that all claims come together to allow for a single judge to manage the pre-trial proceedings. You need an attorney who will not let you get lost in the mix.
• Your attorney is still representing you. That is, your attorney is working to recover a fair level of compensation in your situation. If your case is not settled in a mass tort, your attorney continues to seek compensation for you on your own.
• Shared resources matter. When you hire a mass tort attorney, you gain the benefits of accessing the documents and evidence others have, along with completed investigations, that could help you build a stronger case.

When you choose an attorney with experience, you gain knowledge and resources critical to this process.
