Benefits of a Mass Tort Law Firm

CASE EVALUATIONS ARE FAST, EASY, AND FREE.

In legal terms, a tort refers to a wrongful act that causes injury to another. By extension, a mass tort refers to cases where a party, often a company, commits a wrongful act that causes damage to multiple people.

If you’ve been hurt and you’re not the only one, you and your personal injury lawyer can help you get compensated. For more information on what constitutes a mass tort case, examples of acts that tort law applies to, and advice on where to turn if you need to make a claim, read on.

What Happens When a Mass Tort Is Committed?

When a company or organization commits a mass tort, any injured parties may sue for damages and recover compensation for their suffering. Any compensation recovered through this claim may be vital in covering any medical bills or loss of earnings endured due to the accident. Any extended medical treatment or rehabilitation can be costly, which makes recovery tough.

Mass tort lawsuits must be filed individually rather than via a class action suit. Their legal rights may not be afforded the same protections under a class action. Individual lawsuits also allow the court to examine your case’s merits more intricately, while details of your personal experiences may be lost in a class action.

Filing a mass tort claim allows your lawyer to identify tortious behavior in the opposing party and make a claim that reflects the extent of your damages. You can claim for factors like property loss, pain and suffering, punitive damages, and more. Your lawyer can advise you on your claim’s value. A mass tort lawyer can be vital when identifying what you’re eligible to claim.

Examples of Mass Torts

Many acts may justify the filing of a mass tort, depending on how many people these acts affect and the duty of care the plaintiff had at the time of the accident. The following are all common factors in mass tort filings across the United States:

Negligence
Intentionally inflicting distress
Product liability
Assault
Battery
Trespass

Negligence is one of the most common factors in mass tort claims. Examples of mass torts involving negligence include asbestos, lead poisoning, and cigarettes. Conditions like mesothelioma or lung cancer due to a company’s failure to protect you from asbestos or other dangerous chemicals are grounds for making a claim.

To avoid mass tort litigation, companies are obligated to maintain safe working environments and address any potential concerns as they arise. Filing a mass tort claim allows you to seek compensation for your suffering and hold businesses accountable for dangerous mistakes.

Client Reviews

“I was concerned with all the paperwork”

Before calling your firm I had 2 big worries. One was I didn’t want to do more paper work, and that fear was resolved when I had to do very little, but Craig Swapp and Assoc. did most of it, and when I did have to come in to sign papers they worked around the times I could do it. Worry 2 was I didn’t want people to think I was “sue happy” and that I was just out to get money. I just wanted my bills to be paid for that were from the accident, and that was resolved I think by Mr. Wes Mortenson and Theresa because they listened to what I had to say.

"I would hire them in a second"

My biggest fear was not having all the expenses caused by the accident paid for in full. I was assured they would be taken care of but I admit I was skeptical. When we wrapped everything up (which happened quicker than I was originally told) I had extra money in my pocket. I honestly thought there was a catch but my attorney explained everything to me in detail. If I am ever in that position again I’ll be giving Craig Swapp a call.

"I was afraid of the fees"

I was afraid of the fees I would have to pay a lawyer. I waited over a year before hiring your law firm. I finally reached out to your online help where they were able to help me understand the process and what would happen. In all honesty I absolutely loved working with the individuals that were involved in my case. They were genuine & heartfelt about my case. It felt as though they really cared and were concerned about me, not just as a client but as a person.

"I was afraid that my issue was too small"

I was afraid that my issue was too small to be handled, and that it would just be rejected. Or that I’d end up having to pay for my medical expenses and any of your teams expenses. I would definitely answer yes, it was resolved! I wasn’t ever made out to feel like my little issue didn’t matter, and my expenses were paid for- just what I wanted/needed.

"I am very pleased with the results"

My biggest fear was that it would be pointless to pursue legal action in my case. I felt like maybe I didn’t have much of a case. After speaking with Paul, I realize it was not of my own fault and that others can be held responsible for the pain and suffering I went through.
