Environmental Law and Mass Torts

---

Environmental Mass Torts arise when a large number of individuals or businesses suffer harm that originates from the negligence or misconduct of a common source Defendant. 

Although the injuries arise from a common nucleus, which then causes the toxic exposure, pollution, or contamination - the  injuries suffered by each plaintiff is different.  That is why personal attention from a firm like ours is crucial. 

Examples of Mass Torts include:

• Wildfires
• Gas Leaks
• Groundwater Contamination
• Pollution and Air Quality from Methane Leaks
• Toxic Exposure
• Waste Disposal
• Defective Products 
• Pharmaceutical Drugs 

In a mass tort each plaintiff brings forward their own case, unlike a class action.  This approach allows for a more tailored focus on each individual plaintiff's injuries in order to recover the rightful compensation.
