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.
