FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a mass tort lawsuit?
A mass tort lawsuit involves multiple plaintiffs filing individual claims against one or more defendants for similar harm caused by the same product or action. Unlike a class action, each plaintiff in a mass tort maintains an individual case but benefits from the collective legal resources and evidence.
How do I know if I qualify for a mass tort lawsuit with Tort Justice Now?
Qualification typically depends on demonstrating that you were harmed by one of the products or actions involved in our current cases. Specific criteria vary by case but often include factors like exposure to the harmful product, diagnosis of related health conditions, and the timeframe of exposure. Visit the individual case pages for more detailed qualification criteria and fill out the qualification form for a free evaluation.
What compensation can I expect from a mass tort lawsuit?
Compensation in mass tort lawsuits can cover a variety of damages, including medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and punitive damages. The amount varies based on the specifics of each case, such as the severity of the injury and the impact on the individual’s life. Our team at Tort Justice Now will work diligently to maximize your compensation.
How long does a mass tort case take?
The duration of a mass tort case can vary widely. Some cases may settle quickly, while others might take years to resolve, especially if they go to trial. Factors affecting the timeline include the complexity of the case, the number of plaintiffs involved, and the defendant’s willingness to settle. We strive to resolve cases efficiently while ensuring you receive the justice you deserve.
What is the cost to join a mass tort lawsuit with Tort Justice Now?
Most mass tort lawyers, including those at Tort Justice Now, work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you do not pay any upfront costs. Legal fees are only collected if we successfully recover compensation for you. This allows individuals to pursue justice without financial risk.
Can I join a mass tort lawsuit if I am already involved in a different lawsuit?
It depends on the specifics of your other lawsuit and the nature of the mass tort case. It’s important to discuss your situation with one of our lawyers who can advise you on potential conflicts and the best course of action for your unique circumstances.
What evidence do I need to support my mass tort claim?
Evidence requirements vary by case but generally include medical records, proof of product use or exposure, and any documentation of related health issues. Our legal team at Tort Justice Now will guide you through the process of gathering and presenting the necessary evidence to support your claim.
How do settlements work in mass tort cases?
In mass tort cases, settlements are negotiated between the plaintiffs’ legal team and the defendant. Settlements can occur at any stage of the litigation process. Each plaintiff may receive a different settlement amount based on their individual damages and circumstances. Tort Justice Now will ensure your settlement reflects the full extent of your damages.
What is the difference between a mass tort and a class action?
In a mass tort, each plaintiff maintains an individual lawsuit and must prove their specific damages, potentially resulting in different settlement amounts for each plaintiff. In a class action, plaintiffs are treated as a group, and any settlement or judgment is divided equally among all members of the class.
