Mass Tort Litigation – The Ultimate Guide for Law Firms 

Mass tort litigation allows law firms to represent large numbers of individuals harmed by the same defective product, drug, or environmental exposure, while maintaining each plaintiff’s unique claim. Unlike class actions, mass torts require more individualized documentation, stronger case organization, and thorough evidence gathering. 

At Trivent Legal, we partner with law firms to streamline the most critical elements of mass tort litigation through a suite of scalable, accurate, and attorney-friendly services. This guide outlines how we help legal teams manage mass torts efficiently from intake to trial. 

What Is Mass Tort Litigation? 

Mass torts involve multiple plaintiffs bringing claims against one or more defendants based on a shared harmful product or exposure. Common types of mass tort cases include: 

• Dangerous pharmaceuticals (e.g., Ozempic, CPAP) 

• Defective medical devices (e.g., hernia mesh) 

• Toxic exposure (e.g., Camp Lejeune water contamination) 

Each plaintiff is treated as an individual, requiring a strong foundation of medical, procedural, and factual evidence, precisely where Trivent Legal supports your team.

We help you:
