What Is Mass Tort Litigation?

Mass tort litigation is a form of legal action where a group of people, all harmed by the same source, come together to sue the responsible party. This could be due to injuries from a defective product, side effects from a pharmaceutical drug, or harm caused by environmental pollution. A mass tort lawsuit aims to resolve many similar legal claims at once, helping victims get fair compensation for their injuries.

The attorney at Berly Rouse understand the complexities of mass tort litigation and class actions and can provide you with the individualized representation needed to pursue your claim. At Berly Rouse, we have forged relationships with lawyers all over the southeast that enable us to join forces with other dedicated attorneys to ensure the highest quality representation.

Mass Tort Claims Handled By Our Attorneys

Our law firm routinely handles a variety of product defect and toxic tort claims, holding irresponsible manufacturers accountable for the harm they cause. Common mass tort claims include:

  • Talcum Powder Litigation: Many consumers have filed lawsuits after developing ovarian cancer, which studies have linked to long-term use of talcum powder products. Berly Rouse is ready to assist individuals seeking accountability from manufacturers for failing to warn about these risks.

  • Tobacco Litigation: We will handle cases for clients who have suffered health issues like lung cancer, heart disease, and other serious conditions due to smoking. These lawsuits often focus on the misleading marketing practices tobacco companies use, which downplay the health risks of smoking.

  • Asbestos Exposure: Asbestos exposure can lead to life-threatening diseases such as mesothelioma and lung cancer. Our attorneys seek to represent and assist workers and their families who were exposed to asbestos in industries like construction, shipbuilding, and manufacturing, where asbestos was commonly used without adequate safety measures.

  • Environmental Exposure: Manufacturers often cut corners in materials use or waste management, leading to toxic substance use and improper disposal. Our attorneys advocate for communities contaminated by industrial pollution, chemical spills, or unsafe waste disposal, seeking compensation for the impact on your family’s health or damage to your property.

  • Defective Medical Devices: Medical devices that are expected to be safe sometimes cause harm. Devices like metal-on-metal hip replacements or Paragard IUDs can fail or cause unexpected complications from design flaws, manufacturing errors, or inadequate warnings about potential risks. We pursue claims related to medical devices that have failed or caused harm, leading to pain, suffering, and additional surgeries.

  • Pharmaceutical Drug Claims: These cases involve medications that have caused severe side effects not disclosed by the manufacturer, such as Suboxone. We help clients who have suffered from undisclosed side effects to receive compensation for their suffering and financial losses.
