If you’ve been hurt by a defective drug, medical device, or other product, you’re not alone. Many people in Alabama and across the country are facing similar challenges, and that’s where mass tort litigation comes into play.
Maybe you’ve heard the term, but you’re not quite sure what it means or if it applies to you. Don’t worry. An experienced Alabama mass tort lawyer understands how personal injury claims can be resolved through mass tort litigation.
Your attorney will evaluate your case and pursue the maximum compensation for your claim. It could be the best decision for your future.
It costs absolutely nothing to see if you have a case
Mass tort litigation is a type of legal action that allows many individuals who were harmed in similar ways to file claims together against one or more defendants. If many people are injured by the same drug, medical device, or product, those claims might be grouped together as part of a mass tort.
This differs from a class-action lawsuit, where everyone’s claim is treated as essentially the same. With mass torts, each person’s injury and damages are unique, meaning your case will still be treated individually within the group.
Mass torts often deal with injuries caused by:
If you’ve been hurt by a drug or product that was supposed to help you but instead left you dealing with medical bills, pain, and confusion, mass tort litigation could help you get the compensation you deserve.
You might be wondering, “Why mass torts? Can’t I just file a personal injury or product liability claim?” Great question! Here’s the difference:
Personal injury or product liability claims are typically brought by an individual against a manufacturer or company. In these cases, you’re filing on your own. You’re still seeking compensation for things like medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering, but it’s you against the company.
Mass tort litigation, on the other hand, combines the claims of many individuals who were hurt in similar ways. It creates strength in numbers—everyone involved has a chance to present their own unique injuries, but there’s more power behind the group when it comes to holding the company accountable.
In a mass tort, a local personal injury lawyer will work on your behalf, but you’re also benefiting from the collective efforts of others who are in the same boat. Mass torts allow lawyers to pool their resources for things like expert testimony and evidence gathering. This can make things easier for you and help increase the chance of securing a fair settlement.
Handling a mass tort claim can be tricky—there are a lot of moving parts. It’s too much to manage alone. Having a lawyer on your side can make all the difference. Your local lawyer will:
Best of all, when you work with a lawyer connected to mass tort litigation, you’re not alone. They’ll guide you through the entire process so that you can focus on healing.
Not every injury is right for mass tort litigation, but there are a few signs that joining one could be the best way to get compensation. You should consider talking to a lawyer about mass torts if:
A lawyer can look at your case and let you know if joining a mass tort will give you a better chance at compensation.
Mass torts are a branch of personal injury law, which means that these cases still revolve around injury caused by negligence or wrongdoing. Just like in a personal injury case, mass torts aim to hold the responsible party accountable and secure compensation for things like medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
The difference is that with mass torts, you’re part of a larger legal action that targets the same company or product responsible for the harm. This structure helps streamline the legal process for cases involving many victims while still treating each person’s injuries as unique. It’s like combining forces while making sure your individual needs are heard and addressed.
Alabama has specific laws that can impact your mass tort claim, including the statute of limitations. For most personal injury claims, including those tied to defective products, the statute of limitations in Alabama is two years from the date of injury. This means you have two years to file your claim, but in some cases, this period could start later, such as when you first discovered the injury.
However, mass tort cases can be complicated because they often involve both state and federal laws. A local lawyer can explain how these laws affect your case and make sure you meet all the deadlines.
Working with a local lawyer who’s experienced in mass torts can provide huge benefits. Here’s why:
If you’re overwhelmed by the idea of joining a mass tort, don’t worry—a lawyer will take care of the heavy lifting. From investigating your injury to handling paperwork and deadlines, your lawyer will be in the driver’s seat, making sure every aspect of your claim is covered. All you need to do is focus on healing while they fight to get you the compensation you deserve.
Mass tort litigation provides a way for people like you to hold corporations accountable and recover the compensation you deserve. By working with a local Alabama lawyer who understands state and federal laws, you can ensure that your rights are protected and your case is handled with care.
