WHAT IS A MASS TORT INJURY CLAIM?
Being a victim of a mass tort can be overwhelming. However, you are not alone. A “tort” is a personal injury or death caused by the negligent or reckless act of another person or company. A “mass tort” occurs when the negligent or reckless act of another person or company causes serious personal injuries or deaths on “mass” basis. Typically, mass torts are associated with toxic exposures to defective products like asbestos, dangerous pharmaceutical drugs or defective medical devices, which cause multiple serious injuries or wrongful deaths.

RECENT MASS TORT CLAIMS HANDLED BY NATIONAL PERSONAL INJURY/BIRTH DEFECT LAWYER
One example of a mass tort is the litigation involving mothers who took antidepressants (SSRIs/SNRIs) during pregnancy and had children born with birth defects or autism. This litigation is considered a mass tort, because the irresponsible and reckless conduct of certain pharmaceutical companies caused a high volume of personal injuries and deaths throughout the United States and worldwide. In other words, the pharmaceutical companies who manufacture Paxil, Zoloft, Celexa, Depakote, Effexor, and Prozac failed to warn doctors and mothers that Paxil, Zoloft, Celexa, Depakote, Effexor, and/or Prozac taken during pregnancy cause heart defects as well as other serious birth defects.
