What is Mass Tort

A Mass Tort arises when multiple individuals are harmed by the same product, action, or event, but each victim's damage is unique and personal.

Unlike isolated litigation, mass torts:

• Recognize individual injuries
• Allow separate compensation based on actual harm
• Are handled collectively for efficiency, scale, and accountability

Mass torts typically involve:

• Defective drugs or medical devices
• Industrial accidents and toxic exposure
• Aviation, rail, or infrastructure disasters
• Environmental contamination
• Large-scale negligence affecting public safety
