Mass tort litigation is not static. New case types emerge with regularity, driven by evolving science, shifting regulatory findings, and an ever-expanding body of product liability research. The legal landscape surrounding them develops just as rapidly. What is a nascent theory one month may become a consolidated MDL the next, demanding that attorneys stay ahead of the curve rather than react to it.
Current and emerging areas of mass tort litigation include:
- Paraquat exposure and Parkinson's disease
- Ozempic and GLP-1 receptor agonist injuries, including gastroparesis and bowel obstruction
- Engineered stone and occupational silicosis
- Social media platform liability for adolescent mental health harm
- PFAS ("forever chemical") contamination and related health injuries
- Hair relaxer products and uterine cancer
- Depo-Provera and meningioma claims
