MASS TORTS
With the advent of mass tort litigation, insurance companies and self-insured carriers alike have relied on us to guide them through the maze of issues faced in these cases. Because it is not uncommon to have hundreds or thousands of plaintiffs alleging injury, it is critical to be represented by a firm with both the manpower and skills to sift through the large volume of documents generated, and to evaluate the plaintiffs' claims efficiently. Touchstone Bernays has many years of experience in handling mass tort litigation. We have defended companies and individuals in cases involving exposure to asbestos, silica, toxic chemical or the alleged harmful effects of prescription drugs.
