A tort is a civil claim in which one person commits an act that causes injury to another person. The plaintiff in a tort claim is the person who suffers due to the negligence of the defendant. The defendant is the person who committed the tort who is legally liable for damages if found guilty.
A mass tort is similar to a class action lawsuit, in which a single act committed by one person causes injury to another group of people. In a mass tort, many plaintiffs sue one defendant for a single action or single common product. When filing this type of claim, especially regarding pharmaceutical litigation, it is important to have an experienced attorney.
