Mass Tort Litigation

Mass Tort vs. Class Action

What's the Difference?

Individual vs. Group Representation

  • Mass Tort Lawsuits: Each plaintiff is treated as an individual. They have their own attorney and must prove their specific injuries and circumstances. This allows for a more personalized approach to each case.
  • Class Action Lawsuits: All plaintiffs are grouped together as a single “class” and represented collectively by one lawyer, known as the class representative. Everyone in the class is treated as one entity in the lawsuit.

Compensation Differences

  • In mass tort cases, individual compensation tends to be higher because each plaintiff presents their own evidence and damages.
  • In class actions, compensation is typically smaller per person since the recovery is divided among all class members.
