Mass Tort, Product Liability and MDL Litigation at Cinocca Law

Mass Tort and MDL Litigation

Mass tort litigation involves the consolidation of multiple claimants in US District Courts into one proceeding before one Court to ensure uniformity of rulings on issues common to the class.

Unlike in a class action lawsuit, each individual Plaintiff is represented by their local counsel for his or her case specific facts and by a lead counsel for all Plaintiffs addressing issues common to the class and bellwether trials.

Examples, of such actions include the defective airbag cases against General Motors and IVCF Filter litigation against Cook Medical and Bard. Such actions typically concern defective products, pharmaceuticals, or environmental disasters. Multi-District Litigation (MDL) streamlines this process by consolidating similar cases into one court, allowing for more efficient pretrial proceedings. Our role at Cinocca Law includes:

• Case Evaluation and Investigation: Thoroughly assessing each client’s case, gathering evidence, and building a strong foundation for litigation.
• Coordination and Consolidation: Managing the complexities of consolidating cases into MDL, ensuring each plaintiff’s interests are adequately represented.
• Pretrial Proceedings: Handling all aspects of pretrial activities, including discovery, motions, and settlement negotiations.
• Trial Representation: Providing vigorous representation in court, presenting compelling arguments and evidence to achieve favorable outcomes for plaintiffs.
