Mass tort lawyer Toronto

A mass tort affects a large potential group of claimants. For instance, if a defective product injures a large number of consumers, a mass tort may be an appropriate forum for compensation. Unlike class actions, which are designed to allow smaller claims that may not otherwise be litigated to be aggregated to provide access to justice, a mass tort does not combine individual claims in the same way. Because product defects can cause a wide range of problems, the cases may be difficult to group into a single class that satisfies the certification requirement for class actions. Mass torts will allow lawsuits to proceed individually, where clients have more control over the direction of litigation and an individual analysis of each client’s damages will occur.

At Neinstein LLP, our experienced personal injury and class action lawyers are committed to delivering superior advocacy and representation for our clients. Our team carefully considers the nature of negligence and how to best service the needs of our clients.

Mass Tort & Negligence Lawyers In Toronto

If you have been in a car accident and wish to pursue a claim against the at-fault driver for pain and suffering, your injuries must reach a certain threshold. According to the automobile legislation, you are allowed to sue if you have suffered:

  • Permanent serious disfigurement (i.e., scarring); or
  • Permanent serious impairment of an important physical, mental or psychological function
  • You can also sue if the accident results in the death of a family member.

Any damage award you receive for pain and suffering is subject to a $30,000.00 deductible. Any damages received in excess of $100,000.00 for pain and suffering is not subject to the $30,000.00 deductible. Importantly, you can also sue for lost income, future lost income, impairment of your ability to earn income, loss of competitive advantage in the work-place, some out of pocket expenses and business losses without meeting the threshold. These claims are not subject to the $30,000.00 deductible.

Important Tort Claim Steps To Preserve Your Right To Sue

Formal written notice of your intention to proceed with a claim against the at-fault driver should be given to that driver and his or her insurance company within 120 days of the accident.

You must provide the at-fault driver's insurance company with medical and economic information in support of your claim. You may also be required to sign a sworn statement about your circumstances of the accident and your injuries. Any information given in a sworn statement should be reviewed by a lawyer.

Injured persons must apply for accident benefits and complete all of the application forms correctly. There is a distinction between economic losses before trial or settlement and economic losses after trial or settlement. Pre-trial income loss is paid at a rate of 80 percent of your net income. Post-trial income is paid at 100 percent of gross. It is important to move cases forward quickly to maximize your recovery. The value of seeking legal advice after an accident is obvious.

There is a two-year period from the date of the accident within which you must commence an action against the at-fault driver. If you do nothing, you may lose your right to sue.

You can force the insurance company of the at-fault driver to mediate your case before proceeding to trial. This is to encourage early settlement.

FAQ

A mass tort affects a large potential group of claimants. Mass torts are lawsuits as against the same Defendant; however, each client’s damages will be assessed on their own merits.

Where there are similar claims of negligence, it may be cost-effective and strategic to pursue a mass tort instead of a regular lawsuit.

We're Here For Your Financial + Legal Recovery

 

When people are injured, most often they are unable to work and during these times, cash flow can become an enormous burden on the victim and their families. We recognize that our clients are suffering and are under enormous financial stress.

That is why we use the contingency fee arrangement. Under this arrangement, the client is not required to pay any fees or expenses unless the case is successful. If the client does not recover any monies from the lawsuit, there will be no legal fees.
