Imagine a situation where many people end up suffering from the same problem, like a defective product or an environmental disaster. A mass tort is a way for these people to team up and hold the responsible parties accountable.
Instead of each person going through a long, separate legal battle, a mass tort lets them handle their cases together in a more organised manner. Each person still has their own claim, but because the issues are similar, the process is more efficient. It’s like pooling resources and efforts to fight for what’s right, ensuring those who’ve been harmed get the attention and justice they deserve.
