We Are Pioneers in the Area of Mass Tort Litigation Asbestos claims are frequently parceled together in the form of mass tort litigation. Mass tort lawsuits can be difficult to defend, and success may be reliant on the process. The ability to process large amounts of evidence and integrate the data effectively can have an enormous impact on the outcome of a particular case. At Harvey Kruse, P.C. our firm has pioneered the development of computerized reports and electronic data exchange to better assist our clients in managing the high volume of information that accompanies mass tort litigation.

Every attorney in our firm is involved in trying cases, and our civil litigation practice is among the largest in Michigan. This litigation-oriented background is particularly valuable in the context of asbestos disputes, as it gives us the legitimacy necessary to slow down aggressive plaintiffs and force them to reconsider a settlement offer that is more favorable to our client’s interests. The looming threat of uncertain litigation gives plaintiffs pause and ensures that our clients are at an advantage.
