What are the biggest mass tort cases happening in 2022?

Home » FAQs » What are the biggest mass tort cases happening in 2022?

When someone is harmed through the negligence or malice of another party, they might be eligible to pursue reparations for their damages by filing a personal injury claim against that entity. If many people are injured by the same party, usually a company, because that company failed to perform due diligence before selling its products or offering its services, they can all be eligible for damages. However, to save the court’s time and help the lawsuits resolve more quickly, these cases are often combined into mass tort lawsuits. Mass torts can take years to resolve, and some have hundreds or even thousands of plaintiffs.

Some of the biggest mass tort cases of 2022 include

  • Paraquat, a broad-spectrum herbicide, which has been linked to a greater risk for Parkinson’s disease
  • Philips CPAP machines, used for treating sleep apnea, have a sound abatement foam that can degrade, entering the patient’s airway and causing health issues
  • AFFF (firefighting foam), which has been linked to a higher risk of certain cancers
  • Zantac, a popular heartburn medication that’s been recalled by the FDA for its links to colorectal (colon) cancer and other types of cancers
  • 3M Combat Arms Earplugs, used in war zones for years, and even marketed to the civilian market, have been shown not to perform their function as well as advertised, leading to loss of hearing
  • Roundup, another herbicide, has been linked to cancer and other diseases

I had an outstanding experience throughout my injury case, from the initial investigation to the final resolution. The services I received were exceptionally great. Every step of the process was handled with professionalism, compassion, and dedication. My Attorney Bret Robinson was very caring and informative.

I was able to receive all the medical attention I needed and was fairly compensated for my injuries. I always felt supported, valued, and informed throughout the entire process.

As an added special touch, I was presented with thoughtful gifts during my final visit, which made my experience even more memorable. It was truly a reflection of the outstanding customer care and appreciation shown to me.

I highly recommend Gordons to anyone in need of legal representation. You will be treated with professionalism, respect, and genuine care.
