New Jersey Mass Torts Lawyer
Pursuing a mass tort claim requires attorneys with experience and dedication to see a case through to the end. Mass torts often necessitate years of research, depositions, expert witnesses and other outlays. Generally, they receive no reimbursement until and unless the case settles. For that reason, many attorneys will not accept a mass tort claim. Each New Jersey mass torts lawyer at Meirowitz & Wasserberg, LLP, has years of experience in pursuing mass torts and has brought clients substantial compensation from large corporations that neglected victims’ safety.

What is a New Jersey Mass Tort?
A New Jersey mass tort is a legal case involving a large number of people who the same defective product or service has injured. These cases are often complex and can involve many different parties, including the manufacturer of the product, the seller of the product, and the victims of the injury.
In New Jersey, mass torts are typically handled by a special court called the Multicounty Litigation Section. This court has been established to help manage the large number of cases that can be involved in a mass tort.
If you have been injured by a product or service in New Jersey, you may be eligible to file a mass tort lawsuit. You should contact an experienced New Jersey mass tort attorney to learn more about your rights.
Who Can Take Part In Mass Torts?
Typically, the mass tort names a few representative plaintiffs who are at the forefront of the lawsuit. It may be that the injuries are not expensive enough that it would be cost-effective to pursue the case individually. However, if many people experienced the same or very similar injuries, it may be worthwhile to group all their claims together rather than try them separately.
Anyone injured by the same product or misconduct of a company, who suffered significantly similar injuries to the representative plaintiff or plaintiffs, may opt into the mass tort. The New Jersey mass torts attorneys for the mass tort will attempt to notify everyone affected by the claim that they may be eligible to opt-in. Victims can also opt out of the action and pursue a case separately from the mass tort.
Benefits Of A Mass Tort
Because a mass tort will bring together usually dozens or even hundreds of victims’ cases into one mass tort, the cost of litigation is often much less than trying each case separately. This enables many more victims to attempt to collect compensation for their injuries. Victims who may not be able to afford to hire a New Jersey mass torts lawyer to pursue a complicated, expensive case on their own can opt into the mass tort.
If each case went to trial separately and the defendant went bankrupt, some victims might not receive any compensation for their injuries. In a mass tort, all the members of the class share compensation received as a part of the settlement or verdict. This ensures each member of the suit receives at least some compensation for injuries.
