How do I get started with a mass tort claim?

The first step in a mass tort claim may be to contact your doctor if you believe you have suffered harm from a defective medical device or dangerous drug. A doctor can diagnose what has happened to you and suggest a course of treatment, which may include a revision surgery or a prescription for a safer drug.

The next step is to contact an attorney. Most law firms, including Salvi, Schostok & Pritchard P.C., will provide you with a free consultation. During this meeting, a lawyer will learn more about your case, answer your questions and explain the process your case will likely follow as it moves forward.

A lawyer can then get to work on investigating your claim, consulting with experts and preparing it to be filed in the proper state or federal court. In some cases, your lawyer can shepherd your claim through complex litigation taking place on a national scale.
