About Medical Lawsuit Group
Medical Lawsuit Group is a legal referral service connecting consumers injured by dangerous drugs and medical devices with experienced mass tort attorneys across the country.
Our Story
Our Purpose
Pharmaceutical companies and medical device manufacturers have enormous legal resources. Individual consumers don't. Medical Lawsuit Group levels the playing field by connecting injured individuals with attorneys who have the experience, resources, and track record to take on major corporations. Our network includes firms like Infinity Law Center, which specializes in pharmaceutical injury cases.
What We Stand For
How We Work
All case evaluations are free and confidential. Our partner attorneys work on a contingency fee basis — you pay nothing unless compensation is recovered. We handle the process of matching your specific case type with an attorney who specializes in that area of mass tort litigation.
Settlement Results and Case Data
The following data reflects publicly reported outcomes in major pharmaceutical and device litigations. Past results do not guarantee future outcomes — each case is evaluated on its individual merits.
Mass Tort vs. Class Action: How They Compare
Most dangerous drug cases are mass torts, not class actions. Understanding the difference matters for what you can expect:
| Factor | Mass Tort (MDL) | Class Action |
|---|---|---|
| Individual damages | ✓ Each case valued separately | One recovery shared by class |
| Control over your case | Moderate — shared pretrial, individual trial | Minimal — lead counsel decides |
| Typical compensation | Varies widely by injury severity | Usually modest per person |
| Timeline | 3–10 years | 2–5 years |
| Right to opt out | Inherent — you have an individual case | Must opt out during notice period |
What We Don't Do
Disclaimers
Medical Lawsuit Group is a legal referral service, not a law firm. Attorney services are provided by licensed attorneys. Past results do not guarantee future outcomes. Information on this site is for general purposes and does not constitute legal advice.
Cons & Considerations
Pharmaceutical and medical device litigation is complex, and we want prospective clients to understand the realities before proceeding:
- Cases take years, not months. Mass tort litigation is inherently slow. The Propecia MDL has been active since 2012 with no global settlement. Pelvic mesh litigation spanned over a decade. Plaintiffs should be prepared for a multi-year process involving medical record collection, expert depositions, and extensive pretrial proceedings before any resolution.
- Causation is heavily contested. Pharmaceutical companies invest enormous resources in challenging whether their product actually caused the plaintiff's injury. In the Propecia litigation, Merck has aggressively disputed the existence of post-finasteride syndrome. In the testosterone/AndroGel MDL, AbbVie won multiple bellwether trials on causation grounds. Proving that a specific drug caused a specific injury — rather than an underlying condition or other factor — remains the central challenge in most cases.
- Not every case results in compensation. Contingency representation eliminates upfront cost, but it does not guarantee a payout. Some bellwether trials result in defense verdicts. Some plaintiffs' injuries, while real, cannot be sufficiently linked to the product under the applicable legal standard. Settlement amounts vary dramatically based on injury severity and strength of evidence.
- Referral service limitations. Medical Lawsuit Group evaluates your situation and connects you with an attorney, but does not provide legal representation directly. We do not control the referred attorney's case strategy, responsiveness, or fee structure beyond the contingency arrangement.
- Filing deadlines are real. Every state has a statute of limitations for personal injury claims, typically ranging from one to six years. Discovery rules may extend these deadlines if the injury was not immediately apparent, but this is not guaranteed. Delay can permanently extinguish an otherwise valid claim.
- This is not legal advice. Nothing on this website constitutes legal advice or establishes an attorney-client relationship. All content is for general informational purposes. Consult a licensed attorney in your jurisdiction for advice specific to your circumstances.
