Mass torts may be distinguished from other personal injury claims by several features. For instance, mass torts involve large numbers of claims that are associated with a single product or incident. Also, despite the number of claimants, there is a significant commonality of factual and legal issues. Often, mass torts are handled by large national firms that specialize in this type of litigation.
St. Martin & Bourque handles mass tort claims on a limited basis. Our attorneys have chosen to limit our mass torts practice so that we can give adequate time and attention to all of our clients and not get bogged down in representing thousands of claimants at once without the ability to give each client the specialized attention they deserve. However, our team of attorneys is always here to meet with you and help you to determine if we are the right attorneys to assist you in pursuing whatever type of claim you have. If not, we are happy to help you find a lawyer who can.
