What is a Mass Tort?
A mass tort happens when many people or parties are hurt or suffer a loss due to the same act of negligence. If many parties file an injury claim against the same defendant for the same or similar circumstances, the cases may be seen as part of a larger mass tort.
However, each plaintiff in a mass tort must file and pursue their individual claim, even though they are part of a larger group of affected individuals. As a veteran owned and operated law firm, MJA represents clients in mass torts that specifically impact military service members and veterans as the sole or majority plaintiffs.

Benefits of a Mass Tort Lawsuits
Mass tort lawsuits offer several benefits for plaintiffs seeking justice and compensation for injuries or damages caused by defective products, pharmaceuticals, environmental disasters, or other large-scale harm. Here are the key advantages of mass tort lawsuits:
- Efficiency and Cost-Effectiveness: Mass torts allow multiple plaintiffs with similar claims to consolidate their cases for pretrial proceedings. This consolidation reduces redundancy, streamlines the legal process, and lowers legal costs by sharing resources among the plaintiffs.
- Consistency in Legal Representation: By consolidating cases, plaintiffs can benefit from experienced legal teams specializing in mass torts. These attorneys have the expertise and resources to handle complex litigation, ensuring that all plaintiffs receive consistent and high-quality representation.
- Stronger Negotiating Power: When numerous plaintiffs join forces in a mass tort, they gain greater leverage in negotiations with defendants and their insurance companies. The collective strength of many claims can pressure defendants to settle more favorably rather than risk a costly and prolonged trial.
- Access to Shared Evidence and Expert Witnesses: In a mass tort, evidence gathered from individual cases can be shared among all plaintiffs. This includes documents, testimonies, and expert witness opinions. This pooling of evidence strengthens each plaintiff's case and reduces the burden of gathering proof independently.
- Judicial Efficiency: Courts can manage mass tort cases more efficiently by consolidating pretrial proceedings and discovery. This reduces the strain on the judicial system and accelerates the litigation process, allowing plaintiffs to achieve resolution faster than if each case were handled separately.
- Individualized Attention and Compensation: Unlike class action lawsuits, where all plaintiffs are treated as a single group, mass torts allow for individualized attention to each plaintiff's unique circumstances. This means that compensation can be tailored to the specific damages and injuries suffered by each plaintiff, ensuring a fairer outcome.
- Increased Public Awareness and Corporate Accountability: Mass tort lawsuits can draw significant public attention to widespread issues caused by negligent or harmful corporate behavior. This increased awareness can lead to regulatory changes, improved safety standards, and greater corporate accountability, ultimately protecting future consumers and the public.
- Deterrence of Future Misconduct: Successful mass tort litigation can serve as a powerful deterrent against future misconduct by corporations. The financial and reputational consequences of a mass tort lawsuit can motivate companies to prioritize safety, conduct thorough testing, and implement better practices to avoid similar lawsuits in the future.
- Support and Solidarity Among Plaintiffs: Being part of a mass tort allows plaintiffs to connect with others who have experienced similar harm. This sense of community and shared purpose can provide emotional support and solidarity during a challenging legal process.
