When large companies put profits before people, the consequences can be devastating. For individuals harmed by defective drugs, dangerous medical devices, toxic exposure, or other widespread corporate negligence, the pain is often compounded by confusion, isolation, and uncertainty. Mass tort litigation offers a path forward—connecting victims with justice and the compensation they may be entitled to.
Â
If you or someone you love in Brooklyn has been injured as part of a widespread incident affecting many others, you may qualify to join a mass tort lawsuit. TopDog Law’s nationwide referral network connects individuals with an experienced Brooklyn mass tort lawyer who understands both the legal landscape and the needs of their community.
Â
A mass tort is a type of civil litigation in which many individuals file lawsuits against one or more common defendants—usually large corporations or manufacturers—due to harm caused by a defective product, medication, or exposure to hazardous substances. Unlike class action lawsuits, mass torts allow each plaintiff to file their own individual claim, preserving the specific details of their case and the extent of their personal damages.
Examples of common mass tort cases include:
In each of these scenarios, multiple people suffer similar harm, often due to a company’s negligence or failure to warn the public. A mass tort lawsuit helps hold those companies accountable.
Mass tort litigation is constantly evolving. Some of the most prominent ongoing cases that may affect people in Brooklyn include:
Studies have linked prenatal acetaminophen (Tylenol) use to an increased risk of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children. Parents who used Tylenol during pregnancy and later had a child diagnosed with ASD or ADHD may be eligible to file a claim.
Individuals who lived or worked at Camp Lejeune between 1953 and 1987 may have been exposed to toxic water linked to cancer, birth defects, and other illnesses. Congress passed the PACT Act, allowing victims and their families to pursue claims, even decades later.
Chemical hair straightening products used predominantly by Black women have been associated with uterine and ovarian cancers. Those diagnosed after years of regular use may be eligible for compensation.
Paraquat, a herbicide banned in many countries, has been linked to Parkinson’s disease. Agricultural workers and individuals exposed to this chemical may be part of a growing wave of litigation.
If you or a loved one in Brooklyn has experienced any of these injuries, a local attorney can review your history and determine whether you are eligible to join an existing mass tort.

Every case is different, but compensation in mass tort lawsuits typically includes:
Since mass torts involve personal claims, the compensation you may be entitled to is based on your specific injuries and losses, not a shared settlement like in a class action.
If you’ve suffered physical or emotional harm and believe it was caused by a dangerous product, defective medication, or corporate misconduct, you may qualify to join a mass tort case.
Typical qualifications include:
Even if you’re unsure whether you qualify, it’s worth speaking to someone who can assess your situation. TopDog Law can connect you with a local Brooklyn attorney who will listen, ask the right questions, and help determine whether you have a valid claim.
If you or a loved one in Brooklyn may have a mass tort claim, don’t wait. Legal deadlines (called statutes of limitations) apply, and waiting too long could jeopardize your right to seek compensation.
