Mass Torts

Cabaniss Smith Toole & Wiggins, PL, realizes that the need for a fast and effective mass tort defense response has never been greater. Thanks to today’s 24-hour news cycle, a single highly publicized risk event can be brought to court in one week’s time -- and generate hundreds of similar claims in less than a month. We believe mass tort defense management should minimize liability exposure, press cases offering the greatest potential for favorable outcome and ensure our client’s institutional image and brand remains intact at all costs.

Our lawyers offer experienced litigation coordination that works closely with general counsel, risk managers and trial attorneys to achieve the essential objectives in mass tort defense:

• Avoid inconsistent pleadings or pretrial tactics that can be used against you in future litigation
• Coordinate discovery to save expenses while streamlining the flow of information to trial counsel
• Advise and coordinate with counsel around the country on specific litigation problems
• Manage the progress of class action litigation, multidistrict litigation, or consolidated actions
• Identifying promising cases to put on the fast track for trial based on jurisdictional or precedential considerations
