| Mass tort litigation as we have known it in Mississippi is well on its way to
fading out of existence with procedural changes made by the Mississippi Legislature,
Mississippi Supreme Court and passage of the Class Action Fairness Act of 2005.
However, litigation with large classes of plaintiffs and defendants is a reality
of our times. Daniel Coker Horton & Bell has attorneys who know and understand
the intricacies of both state and federal litigation in this category, and
who are prepared to represent clients effectively and efficiently in these
cases. The firm’s experience is deep in cases arising from personal injuries
relating to product or environmental exposure and from monetary damages claims
arising from common contractual agreements utilized in the purchase, sale,
or financing of goods and services. Many of these cases lend themselves to
joint representation agreements through which multiple parties can improve
the efficiency and lower the per party costs of defense. DCH&B’s
experience in these areas specifically includes cases involving asbestos, silica,
chemicals, pharmaceuticals, oil and gas, building materials, and retail sales
or financing contracts. |
