To understand a mass tort lawsuit, let’s first define the word “Tort.” The legal definition for tort is when someone commits a wrongful act that injures another person. Therefore, a mass tort is when a single unlawful act harms many victims.
A tort is a civil act, not a criminal act. The harm may be physical injury, emotional distress, financial loss, or property damage. The person, company, or other entity that commits the tort is called a “tortfeasor.” They are legally responsible for the harm that their tort causes to the victim(s).
