Mass Tort and Disaster Class Actions
Mass torts and disasters often unfold without warning, leaving significant and lasting consequences. Lives are lost or permanently changed, environments may be contaminated, and entire communities can be disrupted. In the aftermath, pressing questions arise regarding what went wrong and who is responsible.
From Lac-Mégantic to the Maple Leaf tainted food scandal to the Lockerbie air disaster, our lawyers work to uncover the facts, hold negligent parties accountable, and support individuals who have been harmed.
Our lawyers are dedicated to obtaining compensation for victims of mass torts and disasters and their families. We act in matters involving:
- Large-scale accidents, including train derailments and aviation disasters;
- Collapsed buildings;
- Environmental contamination incidents;
- Foodborne illnesses and contaminated food products; and
- Industrial hazards such as chemical or toxin exposure.
The damage may be caused by any number of errors, including equipment failures, failures in designing or following safety procedures, and failure to properly train or supervise employees.
In pursuing mass tort and class action litigation, we work with leading experts across disciplines, such as accident reconstruction, engineering, environmental science, and food safety, to determine how the event occurred and who is at fault. Our goal is to help victims and their families obtain meaningful compensation, promote accountability, and reduce the risk of future tragedies.
