At the Law Offices of G. Martin Meyers, P.C., we specialize in representing individuals and groups in complex mass tort and class action lawsuits.

Our experienced legal team is committed to advocating for your rights and helping you pursue the compensation you deserve.

What Are Mass Torts?

Mass torts are legal actions that allow a large number of plaintiffs to file individual lawsuits against a common defendant for similar harm caused by a single product, event, or action. Unlike class actions, mass torts recognize the unique nature of each plaintiff’s injuries, allowing for individualized legal representation and compensation based on the specifics of each case. Common types of mass tort cases include:

• Defective Products: Involving faulty medical devices, automotive parts, or consumer goods that cause injury or harm.

• Dangerous Pharmaceuticals: Cases where medications lead to severe side effects, injuries, or death.

• Toxic Exposure: Lawsuits related to exposure to hazardous substances such as asbestos, industrial chemicals, or environmental pollutants.

Mass tort claims are typically handled in federal courts under the Multi-District Litigation (MDL) process, which consolidates pre-trial proceedings to increase efficiency and consistency across similar cases. This approach allows for streamlined discovery and settlement processes, while still preserving each plaintiff’s right to a personalized case outcome.

What Are Class Actions?

Class actions involve one or more class representatives filing a lawsuit on behalf of a larger group, or “class,” of individuals who have suffered similar harm from the same defendant. In these cases, all plaintiffs share a single claim, and the outcome applies collectively to the entire group. Class actions are governed by Rule 23 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, which sets the standards for certifying a class and managing the litigation process.

Common examples of class action lawsuits include:

• Consumer Protection: Cases involving false advertising, data breaches, or violations of consumer rights.

• Employment Disputes: Class actions for wage and hour violations, discrimination, or wrongful termination affecting multiple employees.

• Environmental Damage: Lawsuits where communities are impacted by environmental disasters, such as oil spills or pollution.

Class actions can be a powerful tool for holding large corporations accountable, particularly when individual claims might be too small to pursue separately. By combining claims, plaintiffs can share legal resources, reduce costs, and strengthen their bargaining position against defendants.
