Why Do You Need a Mass Tort Lawyer?
- Mass tort litigation cases usually pursue damages against large corporations with extensive legal teams. Corporate legal departments are notoriously relentless and are often difficult (if not outright impossible) to negotiate with without the assistance of an attorney at your side.
- Mass torts can often be incredibly complicated, especially in cases where liability is shared between multiple parties. An attorney who has previous experience in mass tort litigation is already familiar with the processes and procedures involved – regardless of complexity or the number of parties involved.
- Mass tort claims are often prolonged and incredibly lengthy. This can make pursuing a claim on your own incredibly stressful, costly, and ill-advised. Retaining an attorney can ensure you keep track of your litigation weeks, months, or even years after it has been filed.
- Determining the full value of your claim can be difficult without professional assistance. An attorney can give you the resources to obtain an accurate valuation of your case so that you receive the compensation you deserve.
However, in a mass tort claim, each person who files is considered an individual plaintiff – while in a class action, multiple parties collaborate to form one collective plaintiff.
As a result, in mass torts, each plaintiff is responsible for substantiating their own claims, rather than proving multiple cases collectively.
Therefore, a mass tort attorney is invaluable throughout the claims process as he or she stands by your side and defends your legal rights.
What is a Mass Tort?
It is important to note that mass tort claims are generally filed in one of two types of proceedings: multidistrict litigation (MDL) or a class action.
- A multidistrict litigation (MDL) is a legal proceeding in which multiple plaintiffs file individual lawsuits for similar injuries. Although they are temporarily joined together in front of a federal judge for pretrial proceedings, each plaintiff has his or her own representation and his or her own respective trial.
- A class action lawsuit is a proceeding in which all individuals who have suffered similar harms come together as one party to file a lawsuit against the defendant. This singular entity is represented by a single attorney and is tried in one consolidated trial.

Practice Areas We Specialize In
At The Sonstein Law Firm, we represent clients in a wide spectrum of injury cases. This includes:
Defective Drugs
Although the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approves drugs for treatment, it is not a guarantee that these drugs may be safe. Often, many of these drugs are approved on the condition that they undergo further testing to determine its continued safety.
Unfortunately, in many circumstances, these drugs are found to cause profound health issues. Notable drugs such as Belviq, Zantac and proton-pump inhibitors have led to complex, advanced forms of cancer, severe damage to one’s internal organs, or other life-altering health effects.
Medical Devices
Medical device manufacturers are responsible for the injuries caused by their products whether they are used by physicians or purchased directly by a consumer. Manufacturers have a responsibility to adequately test their products before they are sold to ensure their safety, or promptly warn the public following repeated events of device malfunctions. In some instances a manufacturer may be asked by the FDA to remove their products from the market.
Toxic Exposure
Injuries arising from exposure to harmful chemicals, contaminated soil or groundwater, or harmful pollutants in the air can give rise to a potential cause of action against a corporation or government entity. Exposure to environmental hazards can result in devastating consequences such as cancer, birth defects, and sometimes even death.
