What is a mass tort lawsuit?

A mass tort lawsuit involves multiple plaintiffs who have been injured by the same product, drug, or action of a corporation. Unlike class actions, each plaintiff's case is handled individually, allowing for personalized compensation based on specific damages.

How much does it cost to hire Top Tier Legal?

There is no upfront cost to work with us. We operate on a contingency fee basis, which means you only pay if we successfully recover compensation for you. Our fees come from the settlement or verdict amount.

How long do I have to file a claim?

Time limits (statutes of limitations) vary by state and type of claim. Some cases must be filed within 1-2 years of discovering the injury. We recommend contacting us as soon as possible to ensure you don't miss any deadlines.
