Mass Tort Scenario
A large number of people who have been harmed in a similar way but the injuries may have little difference.Mass tort cases are not class actions that the many people donot understand. For instance, a power plant or a chemical plant explodes. Due to that, a lot of workers are burned, paralyzed, lose arms and legs that’s a mass tort. But each of those workers still has their own individual lawsuit.
Selecting the similar cases from the broader pool of litigation for the purpose of understanding the value of the case, the strength and weakness of both the defendants and plaintiffs. It has to be done in an effort to try to hopefully come up with some sort of value of global resolution and the finality of the case in favor of plaintiff.
