What Is a Mass Tort Lawsuit?

A mass tort lawsuit is a civil action that involves numerous individuals who have suffered harm from the same defendant or defendants due to a common cause. These cases arise when a single harmful event or product impact a large number of people who experience similar injuries or damages.

• Roundup

How Long Does a Mass Tort Case Take?

There is no set timeline for mass tort litigation. The process is unique to each individual case and can vary from a few weeks or months to several years. Many mass tort settlements can take longer to resolve than the average personal injury claim because they involve multiple plaintiffs and are generally more complex.  

Mass tort cases may have extensive discovery processes and the coordination of pretrial proceedings is a factor in why these cases may take a while to get rolling. From there, there are many key aspects of these cases such as trials, negotiations, and appeals that can be lengthy and resource-intensive, requiring multiple months or even years to complete.  

What Is the Difference Between Mass Tort and Class Action? 

While mass tort lawsuits and class action lawsuits both address harm caused by a common defendant, they differ in several ways, and each has their own advantages and disadvantages depending on the specific circumstances of the case.  

These are the key aspects in which they differ: 

Mass Tort 

• Each plaintiff files an individual lawsuit and is represented by their own attorney which leads to cases being handled individually through their own pretrial and trial phases. 

• Plaintiffs may receive varying amounts of compensation depending on the specific details surrounding their case.  

• Individual plaintiffs are responsible for receiving notice of legal proceedings and decisions regarding their case.  

An example of this is Roundup, a weedkiller that led to multiple lawsuits that alleged exposure to the product led victims to develop cancer. These cases involved multiple individuals with a common cause who filed their own lawsuits to allow for personalized representation and consideration of the unique circumstances of their case.  

Class Action 

• One of more representative plaintiffs file the lawsuit on behalf of a large group of individuals referred to as a “class”. Those in the class are bound of the outcome of the case unless they choose to opt-out.  

• A single lawsuit represents the interests of the collective and pretrial procedures are conducted on behalf of everyone.  

• Members of the class usually receive equal share of the damages awarded and are typically provided with notice of the lawsuit and their right to opt-out or object to the settlement. This is usually sent through the mail or announced through a publication to ensure all potential class members are informed of their rights.  

An example of this would be data breaches. These often result in class actions where a few representatives come forward on behalf of millions of consumers whose personal information was compromised. The cases seek damages on behalf of the group and represent all affected individuals in a single legal action.
