What is a Mass Tort?

A tort is defined as a wrongful act that causes harm to another person. Therefore, a mass tort is a wrongful act that directly causes harm to several people. Personal injury lawsuits surrounding mass torts are often filed against large companies. These companies collectively engage in wrongful acts that cause damages to several independent litigants.

When multiple people suffer injuries and damages that are similar following the use of the same product, they are able to file a lawsuit against the manufacturer under mass tort. This type of lawsuit allows each plaintiff to file a claim to recover compensation in the full amount of their individual damages.

We often hear people joining together to file class-action lawsuits. Although this type of claim can be helpful for a large number of victims, class action claims do not allow victims to recover compensation for their action damages. Class action lawsuits receive one award that is divided equally among each plaintiff. Alternatively, mass tort claims allow several plaintiffs to use the same evidence and information to seek compensation in the amount of their actual damages.

By filing a mass tort claim, victims are able to save time and money by sharing the evidence collected against the manufacturer. Furthermore, if one person has their personal injury claim thrown out, it does not affect another personal injury litigation. Each victim has their own chance to prove their injuries and damages and demonstrate why they deserve compensation.

How A Mass Tort Claim Can Help You

Victims who are harmed as a result of medications and consumer products in Starkville and nearby cities deserve to protect their legal rights. One of the most effective ways victims are able to seek justice and compensation after being harmed is by filing a mass tort lawsuit against the negligent manufacturer.

Mass tort claims are extremely beneficial for victims. Each plaintiff will receive their own individual verdict for their case. Unlike class-action lawsuits, mass tort claims allow victims to recover compensation for the damages that they endured as a result of using the product. Plaintiffs never have to share the money they are awarded by the court with any other plaintiff.

Victims who pursue mass tort claims further benefit from being able to use evidence and information that was filed by others. This drastically reduces the costs associated with building a strong case. Being able to band together legal services and share research and evidence also helps to ensure you have the strongest case possible to fight for justice.

Furthermore, the costs for research and investigations are not assigned to one specific plaintiff. Instead, they are shared by multiple litigants. This helps you save on the costs related to witness fees, investigations, and other procedural expenses.

Finally, mass tort claims are handled in several courts across Mississippi. This allows each plaintiff to move alone in a timely manner without extensive delays.

The Mississippi personal injury lawyers at Mama Justice can help you throughout the entire legal process to ensure you get justice. Our law firm is committed to providing each client we work with personal attention to ensure their individual needs and best interests are protected and represented throughout the entire legal process. Contact Mama Justice for legal advice and to schedule a free consultation to discuss your case.

Injured by Hernia Mesh

When intestines, organs, and even fatty tissues squeeze through weakened spots in the muscles or tissues, it can form what is known as a hernia. These can be quite painful for sufferers. The majority of hernias occur in the abdominal wall and present themselves as a bulge. There are some instances where medical professionals use surgical mesh to support the weakened tissues or muscles while repairing the hernia. Over the years, patients began experiencing severe health consequences after the mesh migrated out of place. Over the years, victims have had the mesh adhere to their organs or cause perforations or obstructions. Some of the health care hernia mesh products that have been recalled due to complications include:

Amerimed Corporations
Marathon Medical Corporations
RAM Medical, Inc.
Medline Industries
MMS – A Medical Supply Company
Henry Schein Inc.
Q-Med Corporations

If you were treated with any of the products listed above, and you experienced adverse health consequences or suffered an injury, contact our personal injury lawyers Mama Justice as soon as possible. You may be entitled to compensation. Injured people may have legal options to help them move forward.

JUUL E-Cigarette LAwsuits

Just recently, Mississippi State University implemented a policy to ban e-cigarettes, like JUUL, from being used. Schools, colleges, and businesses in Starkville and nearby cities are recognizing the dangers of these products. However, some people did not discover the issues until it was too late. Many teens suffered from chronic bronchitis, lung disease, and even increased heart rates after using these products.

Early on, the JUUL marketing team went to schools across the nation to market their product as a safe, non-addictive, alternative to cigarettes. Many teens and young adults turned to these products and suffered severe health consequences. If you used JUUL e-cigarette products and developed an addiction before turning 18, you may have legal options available to help you move forward. Schedule a free consultation with our law firm at your earliest convenience can help you determine what legal options are available for you.

About Our Firm

Hello friends and family, I am Missy Wigginton, also known as Mama Justice. When meeting me, some people ask me how I got my name. The answer: I have 2 sons. When they were little, we always had a yard full of kids. All my boys’ friends called me Mama Missy because I made sure they were all fed and had plenty of cool drinks on those hot, southern, summer days. Being a mama is one of the most rewarding and best jobs that God has ever blessed me with.

I am also thankful that God put me in a position where He can use me to help others in very difficult times. I, too, have been in difficult times, the worst of which being when my 25-year-old son left this earth for his heavenly home. Through the trials and tribulations of my loss, God remained faithful. Losing my son taught me that all things that happen in life can be used for good. My job allows me to be Mama Missy not only to my beloved children and grandchildren but to everyone who needs justice. Hence the name, Mama Justice. Although I am familiar with many areas of law, I focus my practice on personal injury cases. I represent injured people in all types of wrecks, accidents and work-related issues. For many folks, a car crash or work-related accident has the potential to turn their lives upside down, leaving them unsure of which direction to turn. When this happens to you, my goal is to help you through your most difficult times and make sure that you are properly represented when dealing with insurance companies.
