Class Action & Mass Tort Attorneys

Fighting Back Against Corporate Negligence and Widespread Harm

When powerful corporations put profits ahead of people, the consequences can be devastating. For individuals and families across New York and beyond, exposure to dangerous drugs, defective medical devices, toxic chemicals, or fraudulent business practices has led to life-altering injuries, illnesses, and loss. At Salenger, Sack, Kimmel & Bavaro, we stand up for those harmed on a large scale—fighting back through complex mass tort and class action litigation.

Our attorneys have earned a reputation throughout New York for handling some of the most challenging personal injury and product liability cases in state and federal courts. We apply decades of trial experience, a deep understanding of multidistrict litigation (MDL) procedures, and a vast network of expert resources to investigate and pursue valid claims. Whether you’re a patient harmed by a recalled medication, a veteran exposed to toxic water, or a consumer affected by corporate negligence, you deserve to be heard—and you may be entitled to compensation.

What’s the Difference Between a Class Action and a Mass Tort Lawsuit?

A class action lawsuit is a single legal case brought by a group of people (a “class”) who have experienced similar injuries or damages due to the same product or event. One or a few individuals serve as representatives for the entire class, and any settlement is typically split equally among all members.

A mass tort lawsuit, on the other hand, involves individual claims filed by each injured person. While these cases are often grouped together for efficiency (such as in a federal Multidistrict Litigation (MDL)), each plaintiff’s case is handled separately. This means compensation is based on the specific facts and damages in each case.

Our attorneys are reviewing claims for individuals injured by dangerous drugs, defective products, and toxic exposure.

How Do I Know If I Qualify for a Lawsuit?

You may qualify to join a mass tort or class action if:

• You used or were exposed to the product or conduct in question
• You were diagnosed with a related injury or condition
• Your experience fits within the criteria defined by the lawsuit

Qualification depends on the facts of your case and the type of litigation. The best way to find out is to schedule a free consultation with a qualified attorney who can review your medical records, exposure timeline, and symptoms.

How Much Does It Cost to File a Claim?

At Salenger, Sack, Kimmel & Bavaro, there are no upfront costs to file a claim. We work on a contingency fee basis, which means you pay nothing unless we recover compensation for you. If we win your case—either through a settlement or a verdict—we collect a percentage of the recovery as our fee. If we don’t win, you owe us nothing.

What Kind of Compensation Can I Receive?

If your claim is successful, you may be eligible to receive compensation for:

• Medical expenses (past and future)
• Lost wages and loss of earning capacity
• Pain and suffering
• Permanent disability or reduced quality of life
• Wrongful death damages (for surviving family members)

Compensation depends on the nature of your injuries and the strength of your case. Every client’s recovery is different, which is why mass torts offer more individualized awards than class actions.
