Louisiana mass tort lawyer and class action counsel
Representation in Mass Tort and Class Action Lawsuits
Some injuries affect many people at once. A
mass tort involves individual claims that move together for efficiency, while a
class action lets one or more plaintiffs represent a defined group. Watson, McMillin & Street helps Louisiana clients understand which path fits best when products, drugs, or large-scale events cause harm. We coordinate with national teams while providing a local point of contact in Monroe.
