Class Action & Mass Tort Attorneys

Dowd & Dowd operates on a contingency fee basis. That means members of the class action lawsuit pay no attorney fees upfront. They only pay if they win, allowing them to stand up to large corporations. That means clients can work with the experienced Dowd & Dowd attorneys to focus on what’s important: building a strong case that has the strongest chance of securing a winning verdict in a class action lawsuit.

The statute of limitations depends on the type of claim and where it is filed. Mass torts usually involve multiple jurisdictions and federal MDL proceedings, so filing deadlines can vary. Certain exceptions may apply depending on the specifics of your case. We must be informed of the facts of your case before providing legal advice related to any potential statute of limitations issues in your case.

Your mass tort or class action claim will be based on factors like:

• The type and severity of your injuries, including whether you sustained permanent disabilities 
• The number of other claimants involved in the lawsuit
• The defendant’s level of misconduct or negligence
• Economic damages which include medical expenses, lost wages and others
• Non-economic damages which include pain and suffering, emotional distress and others
• Your exact jurisdiction

A mass tort involves many individual lawsuits that are consolidated for efficiency, but each person retains their own claim and potential recovery. A class action is a single lawsuit filed on behalf of a large group of people (plaintiffs) who sustained the same injury caused by the same pharmaceutical drug or defective product or, in antitrust cases, who were harmed by the same unlawful or harmful business practices by a single entity. A class action lawsuit must be granted a class certification from a court. 

Mass tort and class action litigation are legal actions that can be time-consuming, resource-intensive, and require coordination with national lead counsel and, potentially, a lead plaintiff (class representative). Don’t trust your case to just anyone. Choose a firm that specializes in mass tort and class action claims to handle your case. You’ll want a firm that has years of legal experience, wins cases, and always delivers the utmost level of professionalism to clients.
