Differences Between Class Actions, Mass Torts, and Multidistrict Litigation
When numerous people are injured by a business’s or other party’s negligence or due to dangerous or defective products, financial recovery and compensation may be secured for all those harmed through one of several legal processes. These include class actions, mass tort lawsuits, and multidistrict litigation.
Class Actions
What is a class action? A class action refers to a type of lawsuit where a small group of individuals, called class representatives, pursue a legal claim on behalf of other similarly situated individuals who have substantially identical claims. These similarly situated individuals, called class members, can have their legal rights adjudicated by a class action even if they are not named in the case or do not have legal representation. Instead, the class action binds all those persons who are considered class members. In many cases, potential class members are given notice of the class action and have the opportunity to affirmative decline to participate in the class action, which may preserve that person’s right to pursue their claims on an individual basis. Any compensation obtained in the class action is distributed among all individuals who can file a claim to prove their membership in the named class.
Multidistrict Litigation
Multidistrict litigation, or MDL, is a special type of legal proceeding that may arise when multiple lawsuits are filed in federal court by individuals who have suffered similar or identical harm by the same defendant or defendants. In an MDL, the case is first heard by a single judge during the discovery and motion phase of the case. A group of attorneys representing some of the plaintiffs with cases in the MDL will be appointed to serve on the plaintiffs’ steering committee to direct the early stages of the litigation. After the motion phase, plaintiffs with remaining claims will have their cases returned to their original districts for trial.Â
Mass Torts
A mass tort is a type of lawsuit that specifically involves numerous plaintiffs who have suffered physical injury or financial loss due to the negligence or legal fault of another party, usually a corporate entity. Mass torts are usually filed in cases involving dangerous or defective products that end up harming thousands of people or more.Â

Frequently Asked Questions about Class Actions in Florida
Can I still file my own lawsuit if there has been a class action filed?
Your right to file your own individual lawsuit when a class action has been filed against the party or parties you wish to pursue your claim against will depend on the facts of the class action and your individual circumstances. For example, you may not fall within the definition of the class or any subclasses in the class action, which means that you retain your right to pursue your individual claim. Many class actions also provide prospective class members with notice of the option and an opportunity to opt out of the class action to pursue their claim on an individual basis. It is important to speak to a Florida class action lawsuit attorney as soon as possible to determine your rights and whether it may be in your interest to participate in the class action.
Do I need an attorney to participate in a class action, mass tort, or multidistrict litigation?
If you decide to participate in a class action, mass tort lawsuit, or multidistrict litigation, you may better serve your own interests by having your own attorney. However, these types of cases often lead plaintiffs’ counsel responsible for conducting the case. But having your own counsel means that you will have the assistance of an attorney who can explain what is going on in the case and who can advocate on your behalf.
