When a dangerous medication, malfunctioning medical apparatus, or any other perilous product enters the marketplace, it can lead to extensive harm across the nation, potentially affecting hundreds or even thousands of people. This often gives rise to personal injury or wrongful death legal proceedings. 

Product makers must be held accountable for the resultant damages, implying that each affected individual could potentially lodge a claim against the manufacturer. In these situations, mass tort cases often come into play. It's vital to have skilled legal counsel defending your rights in these circumstances. The mass tort attorneys at Bellotti Law Group, P.C. in Boston are ready to help. Contact us through our website or by phone to learn more.

Mass torts are instigated when a multitude of individuals fall victim to the same negligent act or are harmed by the same defective product. These are often triggered by an event that clearly links a product or action to an injury. Instances include a drug recall by the FDA or a Black Box warning, a vehicle recall by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, or a manufacturer voluntarily recalling a product. These actions frequently lead to a surge in victims seeking legal remedies.

While individual plaintiffs harmed by a defective product can initiate lawsuits independently, an official action like a recall often sparks a wave of concurrent lawsuits as the link between the defective product and injuries becomes apparent. When a flurry of lawsuits are filed by plaintiffs, whether due to a warning, recall, or simply because many people start experiencing harm, it might not be practical to resolve every case individually. Instead, cases can be combined to save court resources and streamline the process of investigation and case-building. Such plaintiff groupings give rise to mass tort actions.

The resolution method of mass tort cases can vary. In some cases, plaintiffs might form a class action, a specific type of mass tort claim. Class actions involve many individuals who were not only harmed by the same cause but also experienced a similar type of injury or loss. Though class actions are well-known, they might not be the best way for individual victims of defective drugs or other products to receive full compensation for their losses.

An alternative to class actions that offers individual plaintiffs more control over their case and potentially larger compensation is known as multi-district litigation or MDL. In an MDL, an attorney can examine numerous cases and represent various plaintiffs who've been similarly wronged. This approach allows a court to decide on certain motions and procedural issues just once, rather than hearing the same arguments in separate cases. However, plaintiffs maintain more control over their claim, and each victim who was harmed and filed a lawsuit receives a settlement offer or damage award appropriate to their unique injuries. 

Mass Tort is a legal scenario where a multitude of individuals are wrongly injured in a similar manner by the same product — often a drug, medical device, or faulty product. In these challenging times, it is crucial to have a mass tort attorney like those at Bellotti Law Group, P.C. advocating for your cause.

A mass tort litigation attorney at Bellotti Law Group, P.C. specializes in cases involving faulty medications, flawed medical devices, and adverse pharmaceutical reactions. Did medication lead to your hospitalization? It's likely you're not alone. Currently, devices often speed through the 510(k) program. This program introduces new products to the market without adequate testing, which can result in harm to the users.
