LITIGATION | Mass Tort

Last year, nearly 60,000 products liability cases were filed with the U.S. District Courts; it was a twelve percent increase over the year before.  More than 40,000 of those cases were related to asbestos, a prime target for mass tort litigation.  

When your company is targeted by plaintiffs’ attorneys, you can be looking at multi-year cases which will take significant time and resources away from your business operations and may even have an impact on your company’s viability.

It’s important to have legal representation that understands the complexity of such legal actions, has experience managing large, multi-jurisdiction cases, can minimize the impact on your day-to-day operations and provide superior legal counsel at a price that won’t bankrupt you.  Offit Kurman is that kind of a legal partner.

Our attorneys have significant experience in handling mass tort litigation, including asbestos, Fen Phen, latex glove allergies, and other product liability actions.  We have represented our mass tort defendants as national counsel, including representation in the Multi-District Federal courts and providing strategic direction, coordination of discovery and management of local counsel.
