Injured by a Defective Product or Dangerous Drug? Explore Your Legal Options with Friedman & Simon
If you’ve been harmed by a defective product or a hazardous drug, there might be a class action lawsuit or a mass tort that you can join. Unlike a class action, where compensation is shared among all participants, a mass tort allows for individual awards based on the severity of each person’s injury. If these group options aren’t available for your situation, you may have the option to pursue a personal lawsuit directly against the responsible entity.
At Friedman & Simon, our experienced legal team is ready to guide you through these complex legal processes. We are currently involved in numerous cases dealing with defective products, dangerous drugs, and other forms of corporate negligence.
No matter how powerful or well-connected the company responsible for your harm might be, Friedman & Simon is committed to fighting for justice on your behalf. We are dedicated to helping you seek compensation for your medical expenses, pain and suffering, and other damages.
How Class Action Lawsuits Work
Class action lawsuits enable a group of victims to collectively bring a claim against a common offender. These lawsuits are versatile and can address a wide range of injustices. By uniting, plaintiffs can leverage shared evidence and collective experiences to strengthen their case. If successful, the settlement is typically distributed among the group, with amounts varying based on the specifics of each case.
When companies cut corners on safety, ignoring established guidelines and research, they put the public at risk. At Friedman & Simon, we believe these companies should be held accountable for the harm they cause.

Compensation You May Be Entitled To
The compensation you may receive from a successful lawsuit can depend on various factors, including the type of lawsuit and your specific circumstances. In class action cases, compensation might be evenly distributed, while in mass torts or individual lawsuits, awards are tailored to the unique damages suffered by each plaintiff.
Depending on your case, you may be entitled to recover:
- Medical costs, including hospitalization, surgery, and ongoing care
- Estimated future medical expenses
- Lost wages during recovery
- Loss of future earning capacity
- Emotional distress, such as PTSD
- Permanent disabilities or impairments
- Pain and suffering
- And more
In cases involving egregious misconduct, punitive damages may also be awarded.
