Mass Tort Litigation

At The Pisanchyn Law Firm, we specialize in mass tort litigation, advocating for individuals who have been harmed by dangerous products, pharmaceuticals, or large-scale negligence. If you or a loved one has suffered from the negligence of a corporation or manufacturer, you don’t have to face it alone. Mass tort cases allow multiple plaintiffs who have experienced similar harm to band together, giving you the strength in numbers while still allowing for personalized attention to your unique circumstances.

Our experienced attorneys are committed to holding corporations accountable, seeking justice, and securing compensation for the damages you’ve endured.

 

What is Mass Tort?

A mass tort is a legal action involving numerous plaintiffs who have been injured or harmed by the same defendant or group of defendants. Unlike class action lawsuits, where one lawsuit is filed on behalf of all victims, mass tort cases allow each plaintiff to file an individual claim for their specific damages. This process ensures that each victim’s unique circumstances are fully addressed.

 

Types of Mass Tort Cases We Handle

Our law firm handles a wide range of mass tort cases, including but not limited to:

1. Defective Pharmaceuticals

Pharmaceutical companies have a responsibility to ensure the safety of the drugs they put on the market. Unfortunately, dangerous side effects or defects sometimes only come to light after the product has been widely distributed. If you or a loved one has suffered health issues due to defective medication, you may be entitled to compensation through a mass tort lawsuit.

Common examples of defective pharmaceutical mass tort cases include:

• Prescription drugs with undisclosed or dangerous side effects
• Over-the-counter medications causing harm after long-term use
• Contaminated drug batches leading to illness or injury

 

2. Dangerous Medical Devices

Medical devices are intended to improve quality of life, but defective products can cause significant harm instead. We represent individuals who have been injured by malfunctioning or poorly designed medical devices, whether implanted or external.

Cases involving dangerous medical devices often include:

• Defective hip or knee replacements
• Faulty pacemakers or heart stents
• Harmful surgical mesh or breast implants

 

3. Harmful Consumer Products

Everyday products, from children’s toys to household appliances, must meet certain safety standards. When manufacturers fail to meet these requirements, consumers can suffer injuries or long-term health issues. Our team fights for clients injured by defective or hazardous products.

Types of consumer product mass tort cases we handle include:

• Toxic baby powder and talc-based products
• Defective auto parts and vehicle recalls
• Harmful chemicals in cleaning products

 

4. Toxic Exposure

Mass tort claims can arise from exposure to harmful substances, whether at home, in the workplace, or elsewhere. Prolonged exposure to dangerous chemicals or pollutants can lead to life-threatening conditions such as cancer or respiratory diseases.

Our firm handles cases involving toxic exposure, including:

• Asbestos and mesothelioma
• Contaminated water (e.g., military base water contamination)
• Exposure to industrial chemicals like benzene or glyphosate

 

5. Environmental Disasters

Corporations are often responsible for large-scale environmental disasters that harm communities. These incidents can lead to serious health problems, property damage, and financial losses. Mass tort lawsuits allow victims to hold the responsible parties accountable for negligence.

Examples of environmental disaster cases include:

• Oil spills causing environmental and health damages
• Industrial plant leaks contaminating air, soil, or water
• Unsafe waste disposal affecting local communities
