Mass Tort Litigation is a relatively new area of law which has been created by society's advances in marketing, producing, and distributing products. A mass tort is defined by one or more actors injuring a great number of people by a common action or product. The similarity of the wrong (tort) that was committed against numerous people allows their claims to be heard together. This bundling of claims promotes judicial economy, but also creates a variety of new economic incentives and disincentives for both plaintiffs and defendants.

Examples of mass tort litigation include products liability claims (asbestos, breast implant, shareholder actions, and tobacco litigation), large business antitrust claims, as well as large scale man made disasters (apartment fires, chemical plant explosions, & airplane crashes).
