How long does a mass tort case take?

Home » FAQs » How long does a mass tort case take?

If you’ve been harmed by a defective product or toxic contamination made by a big corporation, you might be unsure of where to turn. Chances are, many people are in the same situation as you, so oftentimes cases like these are combined into mass tort litigation, in which plaintiffs can share evidence and other resources as they pursue damages against a single defendant.

However, mass tort cases can take a long time. Mass tort cases can take anywhere from a few years to decades to resolve, due to their increased complexity when compared to individual tort claims. The longest-running tort in American history, against the manufacturers of asbestos, is still ongoing, 40 years later.

Even though they can take a long time, many people do eventually find justice through joining a mass tort case. If you’ve been injured by a corporation’s negligence, call the mass tort lawyers at Gordon McKernan Injury Attorneys for a free legal consultation.

I’m grateful that I trusted Gordon McKernan to handle my injury case. My attorney, Chris Melancon was so professional, understanding, knowledgeable and informative. I couldn’t have asked for better. Highly recommend! The outcome he worked for exceeded my expectations. I only wish I’d contacted them sooner!

My Atty was Jeff Watson, he is very knowledgeable of the laws as it relates to personal injury. He has several years of experience working within the corporate and private sector. Atty Watson ensure the full value of my case was received. After being persistent with the negotiating process, he was able to obtain additional funds. Ms Donna is a very compassionate person and has a great personality. Thanks to everyone involved in this process. May God bless and keep you all.
