Unrelenting Legal Support

What Is A Mass Tort Lawsuit?

A mass tort lawsuit involves a large group of plaintiffs who have all suffered a personal injury stemming from the same cause, often a defective product or dangerous situation. These lawsuits can span across the country and involve multiple attorneys nationwide. The defendants can include manufacturers, drug companies, large corporations or even government entities like the military.

Frank Charles Miranda, P.A., based in Tampa, Florida, has successfully represented plaintiffs in a variety of mass tort cases. We have a strong track record of securing justice for clients and their families. A skilled mass tort lawyer coordinates cases with other lawyers to manage the large amounts of evidence and the wide scope of damages.

Forming A Class Action Lawsuit

In many mass tort situations, the courts will approve the formation of a class. This means certain plaintiffs represent the entire group of people who were injured. The outcome of that case can affect the entire class. You may have certain options based on that outcome, which we will guide you through.
