Mass Torts

Mississippi Mass Tort Attorneys

Protecting the Rights of Consumers for 40+ Years

A mass tort is a single tort, or wrongful act, that results in injury to a large number of victims. Whereas class action lawsuits involve all of the victims suing a defendant together in one lawsuit, in mass torts, the victims all sue the defendant separately in individual lawsuits seeking compensation for the defendant’s negligence.

Our firm is currently reviewing cases related to defective drugs and medical devices. If you or a loved one has suffered injury as a result of a dangerous pharmaceutical or defective medical device, contact our Mississippi attorneys to see if you have a case.

Examples of recent defective drug/medical device lawsuits include:

  • 3M Earplugs – Military issued earplugs with a known defect that causes the noise canceling devices to loosen over time, causing permanent damage
  • Paraquat, a highly toxic herbicide used to control weeds and grass but that can be harmful to humans.
  • Camp Lejeune
  • Exactech Knee and Ankle Recall

Common Questions

This depends on your situation. People who have been injured are oftentimes better off if they get professional representation. Insurance companies are in the business of making money for themselves, and the less they pay the more they make! That being said, not everyone needs to hire an accident attorney, but please call our firm anytime for a 100% free consultation to speak with a specialist who can analyze your individual circumstances.

This depends a lot on three factors: 1) the severity of your injuries; 2) who was at fault in the accident; and, 3) the insurance policies available to cover your claims. Generally speaking, the more severe your injuries, the less you were at fault, and the more insurance coverage available to cover your claims -- the more your case will be worth. If you'd like a free assessment of the strength of your case -- please call us at 601-988-8888.

If you've been seriously injured in an accident, we don't recommend it. Speaking with the insurance company before speaking with an attorney, even if it's your own insurance company, can, unfortunately, be detrimental to your case. And it is always best to speak with an experienced personal injury attorney near you about your case before giving any kind of recording statement.

"It really only took one call! They followed up with me and called me to answer any questions I had. Nobody was rude or impatient! And when I still had further questions they transferred me to Richard Schwartz himself to answer any questions! Highly recommend this attorney!"
