FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a "Mass Tort"?
A mass tort is a legal action involving many people who have all been harmed by the same product, drug, or event. Unlike a class action, in a mass tort, your case is treated individually, meaning your specific medical history and damages are used to calculate your personal settlement.
How much does it cost to start my claim?
It costs $0. Our partner attorneys work on a “Contingency Fee” basis. This means they cover all court costs and legal fees. You only pay a percentage of the settlement if and when you win. If you don’t get paid, they don’t get paid.
Is the Roblox lawsuit only for physical harm?
No. The Roblox litigation also focuses on mental health and exploitation. If your child suffered from severe addiction, clinical anxiety, or grooming/abuse facilitated by the platform’s lack of safety features, you may have a valid claim for emotional and psychological damages.
Will I have to go to court?
The vast majority (over 90%) of mass tort and personal injury cases are settled out of court. Your legal team’s goal is to get you the maximum compensation as quickly as possible without the stress of a trial.
Will I have to travel for my case?
Almost never. In 2025, most legal consultations, document signings, and even depositions are handled digitally or via video call. Your legal team will handle the “heavy lifting” in the courts while you stay in the comfort of your home.

Who qualifies for the AFFF (Firefighting Foam) lawsuit?
Current and former firefighters (military or civilian) who were exposed to aqueous film-forming foam and later diagnosed with kidney, testicular, or liver cancer are the primary candidates. 2025 updates also include certain thyroid diseases and ulcerative colitis.
How long do I have to file a Car Accident (MVA) claim?
Every state has a “Statute of Limitations.” In most states, you have between 2 to 3 years from the date of the accident. However, evidence like dashcam footage and witness statements disappears quickly, so it is best to act immediately.
How do I get started?
Simply fill out our 60-Second Case Evaluation form on the homepage. Our system will analyze your info, and if you qualify, a legal specialist will contact you for a free, private consultation
What if I was partially at fault for my car accident?
You may still be eligible! Most states follow “Comparative Negligence” rules. For example, if you were found 20% at fault, you can still recover 80% of the damages. Our partner lawyers are experts at minimizing your “fault percentage” to maximize your check.
