Mass tort lawsuits are not the same as class action lawsuits. In class action lawsuits, the total damages are divided equally among all those who the defendant wronged. If 1,000 people sued for $100,000, each person would get $100.
Everyone in a mass tort lawsuit receives individualized benefits based on the harm they suffered. If one person suffers more severe consequences as a result of a recalled drug than another, compensation amounts will be proportionate to that fact.
