Class Actions, Mass Tort, & Multi-District Litigation
Protecting Consumers Who Have Suffered Harm
When a drug manufacturer or a producer of a medical device releases a dangerous product to the public, thousands of people may suffer harm. While each individual victim has the right to file a claim for compensation from the company responsible, cases are often consolidated into class actions, mass torts or multi-district litigation for the convenience of the courts and the plaintiffs.
Do you believe you have grounds to be included in a class action? Contact our mass tort lawyers in Weston for more information on how to receive compensation!

What is a Class Action Suit?
Class actions are formed when a group of plaintiffs have suffered similar injury as a result of a similar harm. If a defective medical drug causes thousands of patients to suffer a particular side effect, for example, these plaintiffs may join together to take action against the manufacturer.
While class actions and multi-district litigations (MDLs) are common when defective drugs or medical devices cause mass injury, it is important for injured victims to understand the differences between class actions and MDLs in order to make an informed choice regarding how to proceed with an injury claim.
In a class action, the court must certify that all of the plaintiffs have suffered similar wrongs. All of the cases are resolved in a single trial or a single settlement, with the verdict or settlement agreement establishing a uniform system for compensating injured victims involved in the case. Typically, only a few named plaintiffs actually appear in court and play an active part of the class action process. Other injured victims may choose to opt out of the class to pursue their own claims.

"Lori kept in contact, showed empathy, & was straightforward with all detail!"When I say..you’ve reached the right people..ur lucky to be in contact with them!! Although they couldn’t help me with my case. Leading up to the decision Lori kept in contact, showed empathy, and was straightforward with all detail! Lori told me more than my own doctors or the hospital did. I have closure because of HER! So I still won! My case was complicated to move forward due to other reasons..but she ain’t never let me down when speaking to her! She speaks to you as if she knew you forever! I appreciate this firm so much because before they say NO..they try, they listen, and they put work in!!! Thank you guys so much for everything!- Adrian W.

"I so appreciate their kindness, genuine compassion, & 'got my back' attitude."From the first phone conversation with Lori, to the first time meeting with David and Jeff, all the way through and to the conclusion of my case, I felt as if these people truly cared about what happened to me. They didn’t just see a potential “case”. They were upset with my situation. They wanted to help. Through the years that this whole process takes, I have gotten to know them a bit better, and they have gotten to know me. I now consider them less “my legal team”, and more a part of my extended family, whether they realize it, or like it, or not. I so appreciate their kindness, genuine compassion, and “got my back” attitude. I hope you are never in a situation to need these folks, but if you ever are, I highly recommend talking to them and seeing if it’s a right fit for all.- Joel F.

"Jeff & David are very compassionate, kind & won't let you down."I never thought that anything would ever happen to me that would lead me to post a review about this law office. Unfortunately, I was wrong and what happened was completely unimaginable so much so that police didn’t believe it at first. I was so confused and lost because it seemed that no one believed me. I googled malpractice in Florida and this was one of the offices that popped up. I called and spoke with Lori, the paralegal, and told her everything she believed me and Jeff and David did too. Due to what happened this wasn’t going to just be a civil lawsuit but a criminal one as well. They were a huge help in working with the police to get items that would prove my criminal case and would lead to felony arrest and jail time. They were there to talk to me all throughout the criminal case. Especially, Lori she truly cared and when I was all alone feeling that I wasn’t strong enough to get through this she was always there with good and caring advice. I was with this law firm for the past 3 years and Jeff and David are very compassionate and kind. From the attorneys to the paralegal they worked very hard and did so much that they have changed my life. If you are looking for an attorney office with experienced, knowledgeable, and compassionate staff. I promise they won’t let you down.- Tiffany S.
