Mass Tort Lawyers Holding Corporations Accountable in AL & GA

When corporate negligence harms many people, justice requires strength in numbers. Mass tort litigation allows injured individuals to stand up to powerful corporations whose unsafe products, chemicals, or practices caused widespread harm. If you were injured by a defective product, dangerous drug, toxic exposure, or large-scale disaster, Bodewell’s mass tort lawyers help you pursue accountability and meaningful compensation in Alabama and Georgia.

Mass tort cases are complex, document-heavy, and aggressively defended. Our role is to protect your individual interests while leveraging the collective power of coordinated litigation.

Birmingham Mass Tort Lawyers Fighting Corporate Negligence

Our Birmingham mass tort lawyers represent individuals—not faceless groups—who were injured by the same wrongful conduct. While mass tort cases share evidence and resources, your claim remains your own, with damages evaluated based on your specific injuries, losses, and long-term needs.

We work with national experts, investigators, and co-counsel when necessary to take on large corporations, pharmaceutical companies, manufacturers, and insurers.

What Is a Mass Tort?

A mass tort arises when a single product, action, or failure causes injury to many people. Unlike class actions, mass tort litigation allows each injured person to maintain an individual lawsuit while benefiting from coordinated discovery and pretrial proceedings.

Most mass tort cases are coordinated through multidistrict litigation (MDL), allowing courts to manage evidence efficiently while preserving each victim’s right to individual compensation.

• Companies are held financially and legally accountable

Every case is unique, but mass tort compensation may include:

• Medical expenses and future treatment
