Mass Tort Lawyers
Bringing Claims Against Corporations & Tough Defendants
When numerous people have been hurt by the same act of negligence, the injury lawsuits they file can be brought together into a mass tort, a class action lawsuit, or multidistrict litigation (MDL). By condensing or combining claims and lawsuits, dozens, hundreds, or thousands of plaintiffs can seek justice and compensation in a relatively brief amount of time. Mass torts are notorious for their complexity, though, as well as for the corporate litigation firms that usually defend them.
At Farmer & Klopfer, we believe in empowering the people with outstanding legal counsel that is experienced, successful, and aggressive. We are proud and excited to say that we have teamed up with Morgan & Morgan – “America’s Largest Injury Law Firm” – to help both local and nationwide clients find the support and representation they need for complicated, high-stakes mass tort cases.

Different Types of Mass Tort Cases
Mass torts can begin for many reasons. The underlying cause for them is that one accident hurts many people, or similar sets of circumstances do. In fact, dangerously defective products that hurt consumers are among the most common reasons for mass torts today.
Our mass tort lawyers are currently hearing from people who have been hurt by the following products, medications, and more:
- Belviq (lorcaserin)
- Elmiron (pentosan polysulfate)
- JUUL vape devices
- Talcum powder products (J&J baby powder)
- Zantac (ranitidine)
- Paraquat herbicide
- Sunscreen with high levels of benzene
How Do You Get Compensation in a Mass Tort?
A mass tort case allows multiple plaintiffs to band together, share resources, discuss evidence, and form a “group” that wants to sue the same defendant or defendants for their damages. However, when a mass tort is approved, each plaintiff is referred back to their local courts to begin and manage an individual claim. By this method, every mass tort plaintiff can win or lose their case independently of the outcomes of any other case.
In contrast, a class action lawsuit takes all eligible plaintiffs and forms them into a single plaintiff class. A single case is managed for that class, so there might only be the need for one trial or one settlement. If the class wins, then everyone in the class wins, too, but the same is true if the class loses. Furthermore, if the class wins, then any recovered compensation is split among all class members, with the possibility that the lead plaintiffs will receive more than others.

“Showed me true dedication that goes far beyond a paycheck”
James Farmer and his team exceeded all expectations! I had a very serious criminal case and his firm was recommended to me by a family member. I was incarcerated during this time and he and his associate Stephanie came to update me on multiple occasions on the progress of my case. They were not only professional but the amount of time and energy they put into my case showed me true dedication that goes far beyond a paycheck! They prepared for trial, but in the end was able to work out a plea deal that did not include any jail time. I couldn’t have asked for a better attorney. I highly recommend Mr. Farmer and his team for any criminal case!- Previous Client -
“Kind, sympathetic, reassuring and more importantly, very knowledgeable”
I couldn’t be happier with the service I received from this law firm. I felt comfortable from the minute I first walked through the door. I had less than two weeks before the expiration of my personal injury filing date and was overwhelmed. My first appointment was with Elizabeth who took my huge stack of papers with a smile and said, “Let me take care of this for you.” Although all of the staff that I encountered were wonderful, my main experience was with Mr. Farmer and Elizabeth who were both kind, sympathetic, reassuring and more importantly, very knowledgeable. My case was handled professionally and in a timely fashion. My case was recently concluded and I am very happy with the outcome and would not hesitate to use them again or recommend them to my friends and family in the future. Need a good law firm, no need to look further.- Donna -
