Who Qualifies for a Mass Tort Case?

Know Your Rights – You May Be Eligible for Compensation

Not everyone affected by a dangerous product or negligent company knows they can file a mass tort claim. At We Claim Justice, we make it easy to understand your eligibility and take action if you've been harmed.

Here's what typically qualifies someone to file a mass tort lawsuit:

  • Implanted with a faulty medical device like IUDs or surgical mesh.
  • Exposed to toxic chemicals in your water, air, or workplace like PFAS or Paraquat.

  • Even if you're unsure about the timeline, our legal team can evaluate your case and guide you.

You Can Provide Basic Details About the Exposure

You don't need every receipt or product label, but the more information you can share, the better. Helpful details include:

  • When and how long you used the product
  • Where the exposure occurred

  • Your diagnosis or symptoms
  • Whether you've already received treatment

Understanding Mass Torts: Your Right to Justice

What Is a Mass Tort?

A mass tort is a civil legal action filed by multiple individuals who have been harmed by the same dangerous product, drug, or act of corporate negligence. Unlike class action lawsuits, where all plaintiffs are treated as a single group, mass torts allow each victim to file an individual claim based on the unique damages they suffered.

Mass torts are powerful legal tools used to hold large corporations, pharmaceutical companies, and manufacturers accountable for endangering public health and putting profits over people.

Common Types of Mass Torts

Defective Drugs & Medical Devices

Dangerous pharmaceuticals or devices that cause serious side effects or complications.

Examples:

Depo-Provera, Oxbryta, Paragard IUD, NEC Baby Formula.

02

Toxic Chemical Exposure

Exposure to harmful chemicals at home, work, or through contaminated water or air.

Examples:

Paraquat, PFAS (forever chemicals), AFFF Firefighting Foam, Roundup.

03

Examples:

Talcum Powder, Hair Relaxers.

04

Institutional Abuse & Negligence

05

Wrongful Death & Birth Injury

Claims filed when a product or act of negligence leads to a preventable death or harm to a newborn.

Examples:

NEC in premature babies due to formula, cancer from toxic exposure.
