U.S. Virgin Islands Mass Tort Attorneys

Lawyers Representing Victims of Defective Products and Dangerous Drugs in St. Croix, St. Thomas and St. John

When someone is injured because of another person's negligence or intentional actions, they may be able to pursue compensation through a personal injury lawsuit. However, there are some cases in which the negligence of a company results in the injury of a large number of people. In these situations, multiple cases may be combined into a mass tort action, allowing numerous parties to seek compensation for injuries that occurred because of a single defendant's negligence.

The attorneys of Colianni & Leonard LLC are highly experienced in mass tort cases, and we have been representing clients for a combined total of more than 60 years. We can help you understand whether your case is eligible for a mass tort action, and we will work to ensure that you receive the compensation you deserve.

When Is a Mass Tort Action Appropriate?

Mass torts involve actions by a single party or a group of people acting together that have harmed a large number of people, whether physically or financially. A mass tort action is often used in personal injury cases involving defective products, and it allows a large number of victims to pursue claims against one defendant or group of defendants. Typically, the claims must have multiple factors in common, including similar injuries that were caused by the same products, events, business practices, or acts of negligence.

While each individual case in a mass tort action is pursued separately, the same evidence and arguments can be used in multiple cases. This not only allows injury victims to pursue compensation in a more efficient manner, but it also increases the chances of success, since a favorable verdict or settlement in one case is likely to lead to similarly positive results for other plaintiffs.
