The Ultimate Guide to Mass Tort Litigation for Law Firms
Introduction
Mass tort litigation presents a significant opportunity for law firms to advocate for victims of defective products, dangerous drugs, or corporate negligence while securing substantial settlements. However, handling mass tort cases requires a streamlined approach to case intake, medical record analysis, and litigation strategy.
At Trivent Legal, we partner with law firms to provide efficient case screening, medical chronology reports, and expert litigation support, ensuring that attorneys can focus on building strong legal arguments while we handle the medical complexities.
Understanding Mass Tort Litigation
Mass tort cases typically arise from:
- Defective Pharmaceuticals & Medical Devices – Cases involving Ozempic, CPAP lawsuits, hernia mesh failures, and other dangerous drugs or devices.
- Toxic Exposure & Environmental Claims – Litigation related to Camp Lejeune water contamination, asbestos, or hazardous chemicals.
- Defective Consumer Products – Cases involving dangerous or malfunctioning products linked to injuries.
Unlike class actions, mass torts allow individualized compensation while consolidating cases for efficiency.
