Differences Between Class Actions and Mass Torts The chief difference between a class action and a mass tort lies in the treatment of the group of plaintiffs. A court must certify class actions, but mass torts do not have such a requirement. Plaintiffs in a class action have essentially the same damages, but in a mass tort, the plaintiffsâ claims are distinct given the broad range of injuries. These differences in the injuries mean it is more difficult to establish compensation and settlement amounts in mass torts.
