When it comes to national class action and mass tort cases involving pharmaceuticals, consumer products and toxic chemicals, local St. Louis and Southern Illinois personal injury victims often get lost in the shuffle. Their stories continue to go unheard while the adverse side effects from a product they’ve used only continue to grow worse.
We’ll help you prove in a court of law that the damages you’ve suffered were caused by a corporation’s negligence or intentional wrongdoing and get you the compensation needed to assist with medical costs, lost wages, and your pain and suffering.
While Cueto Law can represent you in almost any mass tort or class action claim, most of our current cases for area plaintiffs focus on one of these three lawsuits:
In a class action lawsuit, a single injured person brings a lawsuit on behalf of an entire group, or “class,” of unnamed people who all theoretically share the same injury from the same illegal conduct. The court looks at the allegations and determines whether there is, in fact, a “class” of people similarly injured and whether a single “class action” lawsuit is the best way to determine what damages that group suffered.
In a mass tort, many individuals will bring separate lawsuits regarding the same damaging circumstance. A court will then consolidate all or part of these separate lawsuits together using a variety of methods under the law. Mass torts are how the majority of pharmaceutical cases are handled. In many of these cases, although all plaintiffs have been injured in some way, the injuries may differ from victim to victim—and each one of these plaintiffs will have their own trial.
