Mass Tort Lawyer Baton Rouge, LA
A mass tort is a civil claim brought by multiple plaintiffs. It differs from a class action lawsuit in that each plaintiff is a named injured party (in a class action, the plaintiffs are one large class, represented by one named individual).
Some recent mass torts you may be familiar with include:
- Health complications due to defective pelvic floor mesh implants
- Liver and kidney damage due to regional toxic exposure
- Lacerations or broken bones caused by defective toys
- Injuries suffered by passengers on public transportation (like a bus or light rail crash)
Just as in class action lawsuits, plaintiffs in mass torts can pool their resources, including legal talent and representation, and present a wider range of evidence, which bolsters everyone’s case. Our Baton Rouge mass tort lawyer works with other plaintiffs’ attorneys on behalf of all represented plaintiffs.
We collaborate with co-plaintiffs’ attorneys, although, as our client, you are still treated as an individual plaintiff. Your damages will be awarded based on the degree of your injury and how the incident affected your life, personally; unlike a class action, in which you’d only receive a portion of the general settlement (if there is one).
No matter how the course of your mass tort claim goes, you’ll still be our client. We answer your questions, soothe your worries, and seek the best possible outcome for you.
