First Steps
What To Do If You've Been Harmed By A Dangerous Product
These cases are built on evidence and timing. Here's how to protect your health and your claim.
- 1
Preserve The Product & Records
Keep the drug, device, packaging, receipts, and any medical records connecting your injury to the product. This evidence links your harm to the defendant.
- 2
Document Your Injury
Get a full medical workup. In mass-tort cases, the medical record proving your specific injury and its cause is the core of your individual claim.
- 3
Don't Assume You're Too Late
These injuries often surface years after exposure. Nevada's discovery rule may give you more time than you think — but deadlines are strict, so move quickly.

Talk To A Lawyer Before Joining Anything
Online 'settlement' ads and claim-filing services aren't law firms. Speak with an attorney who can evaluate your individual case before you sign up for anything.

Eric Blank spent the early part of his career defending insurance companies. We bring that insider knowledge to every mass tort case — the same edge we apply across our personal injury practice .
Evaluate Your Individual Claim
Mass tort means many cases, but yours is still its own. We assess whether your injury, exposure, and timeline fit an active litigation.
Connect You To Coordinated Litigation
Where an MDL or coordinated proceeding already exists, we position your claim to benefit from shared discovery and established groundwork.
Build Your Specific Damages
Your compensation depends on your own injuries, costs, and losses — not a group average. We document the full picture.
Take On Well-Funded Defendants
Drug and device manufacturers have deep legal teams. We have the resources and experience to stand against them.
Damages
What Mass Tort Victims Can Recover In Nevada
Nevada law lets injury victims recover compensatory damages — both the concrete financial losses and the human cost of the injury. In rare cases involving especially reckless conduct, punitive damages may also apply.
Economic Damages
- Medical bills (past and future)
- Lost wages and earning capacity
- Ongoing care and treatment costs
- Out-of-pocket expenses
Non-Economic Damages
- Pain and suffering
- Permanent disability or disfigurement
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Emotional distress
Every mass-tort claim is individual, and what you can recover depends on your own injuries, costs, and losses. A free consultation is the best way to understand what your specific case may be worth.

Key Nevada Mass Tort Laws
Mass Tort vs. Class Action
These aren't the same thing. In a mass tort, each injured person keeps their own individual lawsuit — often coordinated with others for efficiency, but decided on its own facts and damages. In a class action, many people are combined into a single case with one shared outcome. Serious physical injuries usually proceed as mass torts, because each person's harm is different.
It's Still A Nevada Injury Claim
A mass tort is a way of organizing cases, not a separate area of law. At its core, your claim rests on Nevada personal-injury and product-liability principles — including strict liability for defective products, established through Nevada case law.
The Discovery Rule May Extend Your Deadline
Nevada's general personal-injury deadline is two years (NRS 11.190). But drug, device, and chemical injuries often appear long after exposure. Nevada courts apply a 'discovery rule' that can start the clock when you discover — or reasonably should have discovered — that a product caused your harm. Whether it applies is fact-specific, so don't assume either way.
No Deadline Is Worth Guessing About
Because timing in these cases turns on when your injury surfaced and what you knew, the only safe move is an early case review. Waiting can permanently cost you the right to recover.
This is general information, not legal advice for your specific case. Talk to an attorney about the facts of your accident.
FAQ
Common Mass Tort Questions
What is a mass tort?
A mass tort is what happens when one dangerous product, drug, or device harms many people. Instead of a single combined lawsuit, each injured person can pursue their own individual claim, often coordinated with others to share evidence and move more efficiently.
Is this the same as a class action?
No. In a class action, everyone is grouped into one case with one outcome. In a mass tort, your case stays yours — your injuries, your damages, your result. Most serious-injury product cases proceed as mass torts for that reason.
How do I know if I have a case?
It depends on the product, your specific injury, and when you were exposed and harmed. The fastest way to find out is a free, confidential review where we look at your individual situation.
Is it too late if I was exposed years ago?
Maybe not. Many of these injuries don't appear for years, and Nevada's discovery rule can sometimes start the deadline when the harm is discovered rather than when exposure happened. It's fact-specific — talk to us before assuming you've missed your window.
What does it cost to hire you?
Nothing upfront. We work on a contingency fee — no fees unless we recover for you.
Will I have to go to court?
Many mass-tort claims resolve through settlement, but not all. We prepare every case as if it could go to trial, which puts you in the strongest position whether it settles or not.
I had terrible injuries as a result of the accident I had and hiring Eric Blank to be on my side during this difficult process was the best thing I did.
