Mass Torts

Mass Tort Attorney Lafayette Louisiana

Mass torts are personal injuries that impact many individuals and are caused by the same disastrous event or defective product. Our mass torts practice includes representation in the areas of products liability and environmental and toxic torts, such as chemical explosions, drilling platform disasters, asbestos exposure and apartment complex fires.

One distinct advantage of mass tort litigation for the client is that one personal injury attorney or group of personal injury attorneys can represent many persons at the same time. All the investigative and preparation work done for one is transferable to the others, and this is very efficient. Often a network of personal injury attorneys across the country will work together by sharing information and responsibility for the work required to successfully represent their respective clients.

The courts play an important part in promoting efficiency in mass torts by consolidating all the cases before one judge, which assures that all the injured persons will receive fair and consistent treatment.

Mass torts provide some of the most challenging work in the area of complex litigation. They are also some of the most expensive cases to pursue because the potential liability of the business or manufacturer is so high that these cases tend to be very well defended.

Our firm works hard to provide each of our clients in a mass tort case with the benefits of the economy of scale and efficiency that is gained by having more than a single client in a mass tort without the detriment that comes from failing to give the individual client the individualized attention to which each client is entitled.
