mass tort

A mass tort is a civil lawsuit or series of lawsuits that are filed by multiple people who have been injured due to the same circumstances. It is important because it allows individuals to pursue justice together, rather than going through lengthy and expensive individual court cases. Additionally, this type of litigation can often result in larger settlements for those affected as opposed to an individual suit. Mass torts also hold companies accountable for their actions, which can help ensure that similar problems do not happen again in the future.
