Environmental Mass Tort Lawsuits

An environmental mass tort lawsuit enables a sizable group affected by environmental harm to sue a responsible party while maintaining their individual claims. This method coordinates legal proceedings, streamlining the process for those impacted by issues like pollution, habitat destruction, or toxic contamination.

Under California law, an environmental mass tort action must meet specific criteria: numerous plaintiffs with similar claims, shared legal or factual concerns, and a coordinated approach to manage the litigation. This legal avenue ensures equitable outcomes for all affected parties, especially in scenarios where pursuing individual lawsuits would be unfeasible.
