Key Differences Between Mass Tort and Class Action Lawsuits

Case Structure

• Mass Torts: Consist of multiple individual claims that are grouped together because they share common facts, injuries, or defendants.
• Class Actions: Involve one lawsuit filed on behalf of a large group, or “class,” led by a representative plaintiff.

Level of Individual Control

• Mass Torts: Each claimant retains control over their own case, including decisions related to settlement or trial.
• Class Actions: Individual class members typically have little involvement in decision-making, which is handled by the lead plaintiff and attorneys.

Compensation Approach

• Mass Torts: Awards and settlements are calculated on a case-by-case basis, reflecting each person’s specific injuries and losses.
• Class Actions: Any settlement or award is usually divided among class members in a standardized manner, often equally or proportionally.

Best Use Cases

• Mass Torts: Well-suited for situations where injuries vary in severity or circumstances differ from one plaintiff to another.
• Class Actions: Most effective when claims are highly similar and can be resolved through a uniform outcome.

Time and Efficiency

• Mass Torts: Can require more time and coordination since each case is handled individually.
• Class Actions: Tend to be more streamlined, as all claims are resolved within a single legal action.

Understanding these distinctions helps both plaintiffs and defendants choose the most effective legal path when addressing widespread harm or shared legal claims.
