This is one of the most common questions that we get in our practice on a daily basis. A class action one member is representing the collective group, the class. In a mass tort these are individual lawsuits that have to stand on their own merit. In our practice many people assume that if there's been a defective drug, medical device, or product's liability case that it is a class action. In most cases that we see, people have significant injuries, harm, or death, they're required to file their own individual case, and they're most commonly called a mass tort. So, it's very important for clients to contact an attorney to see if they are in a class action, or do they have to file their own individual mass tort case.
