Practice Areas
Mass Torts & Class Actions
Individual representation for people harmed by dangerous drugs, defective products, and toxic exposures in nationwide litigation.
Overview
You are not just a number in a lawsuit.
When a drug, product, or chemical injures people across the country, the law provides collective tools: mass torts, where thousands of individual cases proceed together while remaining individual, and class actions, where one case is brought for everyone similarly harmed.
Selected to The Best Lawyers in America for mass tort litigation and class actions on the plaintiffs’ side, Evan brings that experience to bear for individuals, with a promise that the size of the litigation never shrinks the attention your case receives.
Below are the litigations we are currently reviewing. Each page explains what the lawsuits allege and who they generally concern. If your experience fits, the consultation is free, confidential, and honest.

What we investigate
Getting to what really happened
Joining a mass tort starts with your individual story and proof:
- Your history with the product, drug, or exposure
- Medical records connecting the exposure to the diagnosis
- The timeline of use, symptoms, and treatment
- Where your claim belongs and which deadlines apply
- How the national litigation is developing

Common questions
Mass Torts questions, answered
General answers to what people ask most. Every case is different, and this is not legal advice. For guidance about your situation, please reach out.
What is the difference between a mass tort and a class action?
In a class action, one lawsuit is brought on behalf of everyone similarly harmed, and the result generally binds the whole class. In a mass tort, each person keeps an individual case, valued on individual harm, while the cases are coordinated for efficiency. Serious injury claims usually proceed as mass torts.
What does it cost to be part of one of these cases?
These cases are handled on a contingency basis: no attorney’s fee unless there is a recovery, and you will not owe court costs or litigation expenses if there is no recovery. The consultation to find out whether you have a claim is free.
Will I have to go to court?
Most participants in mass tort litigation never appear in a courtroom. Cases are typically resolved through coordinated proceedings and settlements, though every case is prepared so it can be tried if that is what justice requires.
How do I know if I qualify?
Each litigation has its own criteria, generally involving proof of exposure or use and a qualifying diagnosis. The honest answer requires reviewing your records. That review is free, and if you do not have a claim, we will tell you straight.
