[ Back to Case List ]mass tort - class action
In their work with Vioxx, The DiCello Firm represented many, many individuals who were victims of a "mass tort." These cases include cases involving prescription drugs. Like class action lawsuits, they are the result of a single product or wrongdoer causing harm to a large number of people. Mass torts have some basic key features. First, they involve large numbers of claims that are associated with a single product (as with Vioxx). Second is a commonality of factual and legal issues. In other words, these cases tend to have similar fact patterns involving a fairly concise or select area of law. Third, the value of the different claims are not dependent upon each other. So, in the end, the value of each case is unique, despite the fact that the cause of a plaintiff's injuries (as well as the extent of those injuries) might be very similar to someone else's case.
