Pharmaceutical
and Medical Device
Mass Torts
Pharmaceutical mass torts involve those who have been harmed by a prescription drug or medical device.
These involve lawsuits filed by a large group of people who claim to have been injured or harmed by a specific drug or medical device. In these cases, the plaintiffs argue that drug or medical device caused them harm, and that the company is responsible for their harm because the product was improperly designed, manufactured, and/or contained inadequate warnings.
Key Elements in Pharmaceutical and Medical Device
Mass Torts
-
These cases often include hundreds or even thousands of plaintiffs from different locations, with each plaintiff typically experiencing similar injuries or health issues from using the same product.
-
These cases frequently stem from claims that the drug or medical device was defectively designed, improperly manufactured, or lacked sufficient warnings or instructions.
-
Plaintiffs generally pursue compensation for medical costs, lost wages, pain and suffering, and, in certain cases, punitive damages.
-
In addition to the financial impact for individual plaintiffs, mass tort cases can sometimes lead to changes to product labeling, changes to government regulation, and/or unsafe products being withdrawn from the market.
