What is a Mass Tort?
Our firm focuses its efforts on the pharmaceutical “mass torts” that our country is faced with every year. A pharmaceutical mass tort is a civil action that involves many similarly injured people who file suit against a company responsible for creating or marketing a prescription drug later found dangerous to patient health.
A good example of a mass tort involved the drug Vioxx, manufactured by Merck, which was shown to cause heart attack and stroke in many of its users. 64,000 people filed suit against Merck, resulting in a $4.5 billion win for all those who took the drug and suffered because of it.
Below is a list of drugs our firm is actively investigating. If you have taken or used anything on this list, fill out a free online consultation form or call a Alabama drug injury lawyer today to find out what we can do for you.
