Kentucky
Mass Tort Lawyer

TopDog Law’s network of local attorneys handles a wide range of mass tort claims across the country, including many that directly impact Kentucky residents. The types of cases referred to these experienced lawyers include:

Defective Drugs and Pharmaceuticals

Prescription and over-the-counter medications are meant to improve health—but sometimes, they cause serious harm instead. Many pharmaceutical companies have faced mass tort claims over dangerous drugs with unreported or understated side effects. Examples include:

• Zantac (linked to certain types of cancer)
• Elmiron (associated with vision damage)
• Ozempic and other GLP-1 agonists (alleged gastrointestinal injuries)
• Tylenol (prenatal use possibly linked to autism and ADHD)
• Suboxone (tooth decay and dental injury claims)

If you experienced unexpected or life-altering side effects after taking one of these drugs—or any other medication now under investigation—a Kentucky mass tort attorney can review your experience and discuss potential next steps.

Defective Medical Devices

Medical implants, surgical tools, and prosthetics are intended to improve quality of life. When these devices are poorly designed or manufactured, they can cause significant physical damage. TopDog Law connects injured individuals with attorneys investigating:

• Hernia mesh failures
• Hip and knee implant complications
• CPAP and BiPAP machine recalls (linked to lung injury and cancer)
• IVC blood clot filters
• Transvaginal mesh erosion and infection

If you’ve undergone surgery or medical treatment and later developed complications related to a defective device, a local attorney can evaluate your potential claim.

Toxic Exposure and Environmental Harm

Chemical leaks, industrial pollution, or exposure to hazardous substances can have long-term health consequences. Mass tort claims are often pursued when groups of people have been exposed to toxic materials due to corporate negligence or unsafe environmental practices. Cases include:

• Camp Lejeune water contamination (linking toxic water exposure to cancer, Parkinson’s, and other diseases)
• PFAS “forever chemicals” in water supplies
• Asbestos and mesothelioma
• Benzene exposure (often found in industrial and cleaning products)

A local lawyer can help assess whether your exposure may qualify for legal action and determine how to preserve your rights and potential claim.

Product Liability and Consumer Safety

Everyday household and commercial products can sometimes be unsafe, especially when companies fail to provide adequate warnings or conduct proper safety testing. Product-related mass torts include:

• Talcum powder (linked to ovarian cancer and mesothelioma)
• Hair relaxer and straightener chemicals (potential links to reproductive cancers)
• E-cigarettes and vaping products
• Infant formula linked to NEC in premature babies
• Paraquat herbicide exposure (linked to Parkinson’s disease)

Kentucky residents harmed by these products may be eligible to join existing litigation efforts led by experienced attorneys in the TopDog Law network.
