Well, let’s step back a second. You’ve used the phrase mass tort. Can you explain that to somebody who’s watching this video?
Steven Gacovino – Mass Tort Attorney – Suffolk County, NY
It might be oversimplified, but what it means is that there are a lot of people that are being represented against a singular or small number of defendants. Cases that are mass torts like this. They have similar but not necessarily the same claims. They’re all individual claims. They all have to stand or fall on their own.
I don’t want them to be confused with the term class actions. A lot of people mash those things together, and there are some similarities, but we’re talking about either a singular defendant or a small number of defendants, and many, many plaintiffs have the same or similar claims against those defendants.
