If you were injured by a defective product or a dangerous drug, there may be a class action lawsuit for you to join. You may also be able to participate in a mass tort, which is similar to a class action lawsuit, but where damages are awarded individually based on the extent of your injury. If neither of these group lawsuit options exists for your case, you may be able to file a personal lawsuit directly against the responsible company.
A New Orleans class action lawyer from the Morris Bart law firm may be able to help you with all of these endeavors. Our legal team is currently involved in a variety of class action lawsuits involving numerous dangerous drugs, defective products, and other hazards.
No matter how large, well-connected, or powerful the responsible party is, our firm does not back down from a challenge. We may be able to help you recover compensation for your medical bills, pain and suffering, and more.
To learn more about your eligibility to join a class action lawsuit or take another type of civic action, contact a Morris Bart law representative today for your free consultation at (504) 613-4771.
How Do Class Action Lawsuits Work?
Class action lawsuits allow multiple victims to file a suit against a common offender. These lawsuits take many forms and are implemented to fight different acts of injustice. By joining together, the group may be able to use shared evidence and their collective experiences to fight for damages. Mass settlements may be awarded in successful cases and then divided accordingly amongst the victims.
When companies ignore the testing protocols, industry guidelines, existing research, and other safety measures put in place to protect the public with their drugs or products, the Morris Bart law firm believes they should be held accountable for the damages they cause.

Types of Compensation That May Be Available for Your Case
If the lawsuit is a success, several factors can affect the amount of compensation you are awarded. While some class action lawsuits may divide compensation evenly amongst participants, mass torts or personal lawsuits may base compensation on the unique damages of each plaintiff.
Depending on your unique set of circumstances and the type of lawsuit you are participating in, recoverable damages can include:
- Medical expenses, including hospitalization costs, surgery, ongoing care, and more
- The estimated future costs of your medical care
- Lost wages during the recovery period
- A lack of future income opportunities
- Mental strain brought on by conditions like post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
- Permanent disabilities and impairments
- Pain and suffering
- And more
Although it is rare, a judge may award victims punitive damages in cases of extreme wrongdoing.
For wrongful death lawsuits, a different set of damages may be awarded to the surviving family. To learn more about the compensation in a New Orleans wrongful death case, call the Morris Bart law firm today.
