Louisiana personal injury law covers lawsuits by individuals who were injured due to the negligent actions or inactions of another party, such as a person, a government entity, or a company.
Mass Torts
Mass tort claims involve many different damages that a diverse group of people has sustained due to common defendants. However, there might not be enough commonalities between the plaintiffs in a mass tort to qualify them as a class within a class-action lawsuit. For example, some victims may have experienced severe injuries, while others experienced more minor injuries.
Mass tort claims may involve:
- Mesothelioma
- Dangerous drugs
- Defective devices
- Product liability
- Environmental claims
