Medical Malpractice Awareness Month: How Class Action & MDL Lawsuits Help Patients Seek Justice

At Jinks Crow, PC, we observe Medical Malpractice Awareness Month not only to recognize those affected by medical negligence, but to spotlight how victims can fight back, especially when harm is widespread. For many, the most effective path to justice is through a class action lawsuit or multidistrict litigation (MDL).

Understanding Class Actions and MDL in Medical Cases

When multiple patients are injured by the same defective drug, medical device, or negligent practice, their cases can be consolidated.

• A class action lawsuit groups people with similar injuries into one case.

• Multidistrict litigation (MDL) consolidates individual lawsuits before one judge to streamline pretrial proceedings.

Both tools make it easier for victims to pursue justice against large corporations or medical manufacturers.

Real Cases, Real Impact

At Jinks Crow, PC, we have successfully represented clients in high-stakes litigation, resulting in compensation from multi-million and billion-dollar settlements. We are currently litigating several key MDL cases including:

• Bard PowerPort™ MDL – Involving complications from implantable port devices.

• BioZorb Lawsuit – Addressing harm from the surgical tissue marker implant.

• Medtronic MDL Lawsuit – Targeting defective heart and surgical devices.

These aren’t isolated incidents. They’re part of a disturbing pattern of negligence that affects countless lives.

Why These Lawsuits Matter

Mass torts medical cases and pharmaceutical class action litigation offer a way to:

• Hold medical manufacturers accountable

• Empower victims who may not have the resources to sue alone

• Promote industry-wide reform and safer healthcare standards
