When groups of individuals suffer harm due to the actions of a corporation or organization, they often share a joint claim. Pursuing a class action or mass tort lawsuit may be the most effective way to seek justice. At Alvendia, Kelly & Demarest (AKD), our professionals have the resources and experience to stand up for our clients, regardless of the case’s size.

Understanding Class Action and Mass Tort Lawsuits

What is a Class Action Lawsuit?

In a class action lawsuit, multiple plaintiffs who have experienced the same injury from the same defendant come together to file a single lawsuit.

This approach consolidates individual claims into one, reducing the number of lawsuits and streamlining the legal process.

For example, A class action lawsuit against a pharmaceutical company where multiple patients have suffered the same adverse effects from a medication.

What is a Mass Tort Lawsuit?

A mass tort lawsuit also involves numerous plaintiffs against a typical defendant.

However, in this case, the plaintiffs have suffered different injuries due to the defendant’s actions.

For example, If a pharmaceutical company releases a drug that causes various side effects in different patients, a mass tort lawsuit allows each individual’s unique injuries to be addressed.

Class Action vs. Mass Tort: What’s the Difference?

Understanding the distinction is crucial:

• Class Action: Plaintiffs have identical injuries and are represented collectively.
• Mass Tort: Plaintiffs have similar but varying injuries; each case is treated individually within the collective lawsuit.
