Class Actions

Harmful pharmaceuticals, denture cream, welding rods and other dangerous products have been linked to serious injuries and in some cases, death.  When a product is placed on the market that causes injury, a class action, mass tort or toxic tort lawsuit can be brought against the responsible manufacturer or corporation.  If you have been injured by a harmful or defective product or from false advertising, you need to contact an experienced personal injury lawyer at the Piscitelli Law Firm for legal advice.

Contact us today at 1-800-931-7071 for a free initial consultation regarding your case.

Strength in Numbers
A class action lawsuit is a civil action that is initiated by one person or a small group of people on behalf of hundreds, even thousands of other individuals who have suffered similar injuries. In a class action suit, the group of people suing the manufacturer, insurance company or corporation must have common damages and legal issues. 

A mass tort is another type of civil action, in which individual claims are brought together. In a mass tort lawsuit, you have your own claim, but are able to save time and money by grouping your case with other injured consumers.  Since there is strength in numbers, a mass tort or class action lawsuit gives you the power to hold the wrongdoer accountable on a larger scale.
