Johnson & Johnson is out of options after the U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear the pharmaceutical company’s appeal of a $70 million Risperdal verdict.
When executive compensation is tied solely to short term profits, and not balanced against company payouts for wrongdoing, there’s an increased incentive for executive fraud.
Consumer class action and mass tort lawsuits are among the most effective ways consumers have of protecting their power over the marketplace. When a large corporation does something which affects or harms a lot of people, a class action lawsuit enables all the affected people to act with one voice. In a mass tort, the facts of the cases are the same or similar but the cases are litigated individually and the outcomes may or may not be the same.
Sheller, P.C. attorneys have successfully litigated class action and mass torts against some of the largest corporations in the world, achieving compensation and justice for people nationwide
The laws of our nation are the foundation of our society. The scales of justice are the symbol of the legal system’s mission to balance truth and fairness. While there may be merit for a case, many lawsuits cannot become class action or mass tort lawsuits on their own. But those with a significant number of plaintiffs with similar injuries and common legal issues may be combined and declared a class action or mass tort lawsuit by a judge. Combining numerous separate lawsuits into a class action or mass tort is very efficient- it can ease the load on our judicial system and reduce the amount of time and money spent resolving consumer wrongs.
Class actions and mass torts remain the best means possible for groups of people to effect change for the benefit of society and to achieve individual compensation and justice
Class action and mass tort lawsuits have kept many defective products off the market and penalized manufacturers who intentionally sold them. Class action lawsuits have rid our schools of dangerous asbestos and eliminated harmful contraceptive devices; they have made cars safer, products more reliable and given consumers a power to effect the market that they would not have otherwise. Mass torts have played a large and very successful role in the relief and compensation for people injured by dangerous pharmaceutical drugs and defective medical devices. Sheller, P.C. attorneys have a large dangerous drug and defective medical device practice where lawsuits often become mass torts. Call 800-883-2299 for more information on whether your situation qualifies for these type of legal actions.
