What Is a Mass Tort?

The Legal Information Institute (LII) defines a mass tort as an “act or omission that harms or injures numerous people.” This definition covers a wide variety of failures, and the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) lists some prominent mass tort cases, including:

• The collapse of a walkway at a hotel that resulted in more than 100 deaths
• The use of Agent Orange, a defoliant that exposed many U.S. service members to health problems like cancer
• The Dalkon Shield, an intrauterine contraceptive device (IUD) that proved defective

Some more recent examples of mass tort litigation involve toxic Roundup weed killer, Juul nicotine vapes, and heartburn medication Zantac, each of which have proven dangerous in their own ways. Mass torts are also evolving with the unique times we live in, as the Federal Big Tech Tort Act seeks to hold social media companies liable when users suffer mental or physical harm related to using social platforms.

These are specific examples of larger failures that can lead to mass torts, like producing dangerous products, poor construction, and environmental pollution that leads to widespread health problems. If a person or institution acts negligently and causes harm to many people as a result, then a mass tort may be necessary.

What Kinds of Recoverable Damages Might a Mass Tort Involve?

Recoverable damages vary between each mass tort litigation. These cases may generally involve:

• Medical expenses: You’ll find many mass tort cases that involve serious bodily harm—including but not limited to cancer and other serious illnesses. Plaintiffs in these cases may seek coverage for all medical care resulting from the defendant’s negligence. 
• Pain and suffering: Pain and suffering is not only a damage you’ll find in many mass tort cases, but personal injury and wrongful death cases more generally. Those who deal with illness and injuries generally experience pain and suffering, which is why this loss is so common to mass torts.
• Wrongful death: When a defendant’s negligence causes sudden or drawn-out death to several people, surviving loved ones may seek justice through a mass tort. Contact a wrongful death lawyer in Boca Raton for a free consultation.

Your mass tort could involve other types of damages. A mass torts lawyer from Ged Lawyers will identify the damages you’ve suffered and start or locate a mass tort that suits those damages.
