When multiple people are injured under similar circumstances, it is often termed a “mass tort” claim.

Should you become part of a Class-Action Lawsuit, also known as a Mass Tort Claim?

While most people are familiar with the term "class-action lawsuit," it's important to note that there are other prevalent forms of mass tort claims that might be relevant to your particular case. As you navigate through a mass tort claim, you might come across some of the following terms frequently:

Product Liability: When you suffer harm due to a dangerous product or a defective device, you may possess grounds for a product liability claim against the manufacturer, seller, or any entity within the distribution chain.
Multicounty Litigation (MCL): In cases where numerous akin product liability claims emerge in various counties within the state court system, a court might consolidate them into an MCL to expedite proceedings.
Multidistrict Litigation (MDL): Similar to an MCL, when analogous product liability claims arise in federal courts across multiple states, a panel of judges may opt for MDL consolidation.
Bellwether Trial: Within the MDL process, it's customary to select one or a few claims to serve as test cases. The outcomes of these trials significantly influence the course of action for plaintiffs with similar cases.
Global Settlement: In the event of a favorable outcome in a bellwether trial, defendants often extend comprehensive or global settlement offers to resolve other related claims.
Class-Action Lawsuit: Distinguished from MDL or MCL cases, class-action suits consolidate a substantial group of plaintiffs into a single lawsuit, as opposed to plaintiffs maintaining separate suits while being grouped together. Class-action suits may be pursued in either federal or state courts and can encompass victims who have yet to be identified. This explains the prevalence of advertisements aimed at notifying potential class-action claimants.
