A tort, in common law jurisdictions, is a civil wrong[1] that unfairly causes someone else to suffer loss or harm resulting in legal liability for the person who commits the tortious act.
If the individual damage done to the group of plaintiffs is fairly consistent, then a class action may make sense. If there are claimants with unique injuries or other types of harm done as the result of the defendantâs actions, then a mass tort may be the best route to take.
