Mass Tort Lawsuits Accepting New Cases in 2026
Active mass tort MDLs and personal-injury lawsuits accepting new plaintiffs — covering defective drugs, medical devices, toxic exposure, sexual assault and abuse, social media and video game addiction harm to minors, wildfire injury, and more. Unlike class actions, mass torts are individual lawsuits coordinated for pretrial — each plaintiff keeps their own case and their own damages. Free case review on every card.
