Chicago Class Action &
Mass Tort Attorneys

A class action lawsuit happens when the plaintiffs injured by the business’s actions are allowed to band together to form a “class” that suffered similar damages from similar causes. Specifically, class action attorneys must prove the following four elements for a court to certify a class action lawsuit:

• Numerosity, meaning the class is so large that separate cases are burdensome
• Commonality, meaning that the class members share legal and factual issues
• Typicality, meaning the class representative’s claims are typical of and consistent with the claims of all class members
• Adequacy, meaning there is an adequate class representative and the law firm has the skill and resources to handle the case

The benefit of a class action lawsuit is that all the class members get the benefit of  a single legal team to investigate the claims, hire experts, and gather evidence from the company.

Mass torts occur in many ways. Our Chicago mass tort attorneys handle all of the following types of cases:

• Defective medical devices
• Envorinmental claims and toxic substances, such as pesticides and building materials
• Harmful pharmaceutical products
• Faulty automobiles and automotive parts
• Dangerous products, such as toys, cosmetics, supplements, and food additives

We have the resources and connections to experts to assemble a compelling case against companies that harm people through their products or their negligent or wrongful acts. Contact us to discuss your injuries and the legal options you have for seeking financial compensation.

We start your case by listening to you explain your injuries and how they happened. We review your medical records. Our firm may also hire an expert to review the scientific literature and analyze your medical condition to verify the link between your medical conditions and the company’s activities or products.

Our lawyers contact the at-fault company to give notice of your claim. We will try to negotiate a settlement with the company’s lawyers. However, many mass tort cases require at least some litigation because the company can face millions or billions of dollars in liability if it admits fault.

We can advise you about your options. Our attorneys will investigate whether any other parties have already started class action lawsuits or an MDL. We explain the benefits and drawbacks of a class action lawsuit compared to an individual lawsuit so you can make an informed decision about how to proceed.

Once we start your case, we fight aggressively for fair injury compensation. We will gather evidence, including expert testimony, to prove your case. We review all settlement offers to help you understand whether the terms are fair. If your case reaches trial, we present your case to a jury.
