Mass Tort Lawyers at Lowe Trial Lawyers
Helping Clients with Offices in Cleveland, Chardon, Youngstown, and Lorain
Mass torts are civil lawsuits involving multiple individuals who have been harmed by the same defective product, dangerous drug, or negligent corporation. Common examples include faulty medical devices, harmful pharmaceuticals, toxic exposures, and unsafe consumer goods.
Unlike class actions, mass tort cases allow each individual to maintain their own separate claim, while still benefiting from shared legal resources, evidence, and expert testimony. This approach ensures that your injuries and losses are fully recognized, without sacrificing the strength that comes from collective litigation.
At Lowe Trial Lawyers, our mass tort attorneys represent clients across the country who have suffered serious injuries due to corporate negligence. We fight to recover full compensation for:
- Medical expenses
- Lost or missed wages
- Pain, suffering, and emotional distress
- Permanent disability or reduced quality of life
