Class Actions

Class action lawsuits or mass torts are civil actions involving a large number of people with similar injuries and/or losses caused by the same defendant. Class actions and mass torts arise out of circumstances in which many individuals have been injured by the same party, which is the defendant in the case. Class Action defendants can be individuals, a group of people, a corporation, or any other type of entity. When a large number of people are injured by the same defendant, class action lawsuits or mass torts are the most effective way to bring forward the case to maximize recovery, while being cost-efficient.
