Class Action & Mass Tort

You shouldn’t have to take on a corporation alone.

When a company’s drug, device, or product harms people, the law lets those people stand together. Shalley & Murray helps you find out whether you may be part of one of these cases — at no cost to ask.

Overview

A class action or mass tort exists for one reason: so an ordinary person can hold a company accountable when going it alone would be impossible.

When the same product injures many people, the law lets those claims move forward together. The cost and complexity that would stop any single person are shared, and a company that counted on no one being able to push back suddenly has to answer for what it did. Most people who come to us aren’t sure whether their situation counts — and finding out is exactly what the first conversation is for.

Common Questions

What people ask us first.

What’s the difference between a class action and a mass tort?

In a class action, one result applies to the whole group at once. In a mass tort, many similar claims are coordinated for efficiency but each person’s case is resolved on its own facts.

How much does it cost to talk to you?

The first conversation is free and confidential. These cases are typically handled on contingency, meaning you generally owe no attorney fee unless there is a recovery.

Will I have to go to court?

Usually not. Most of these cases resolve through coordinated proceedings or settlement, and much of the work happens on your behalf.

Is there a deadline to join?

Yes. Every claim has a statute of limitations and the clock may already be running, so it’s best to ask sooner rather than later.

What should I gather first?

Whatever you have: the product, drug, or exposure involved; rough dates; and any medical records or diagnosis. If you don’t have it all, we can help.

What might a case recover?

Depending on the matter, recovery may cover medical costs, lost income, and pain and suffering. We’ll set honest expectations for your situation.
