Excellent- More about Blood in the Water: Feeding Frenzies and the Mass Tort Phenomenon
This book explores mass tort litigation and the role of the personal injury bar in holding corporations accountable for their greed. The authors argue that without the personal injury bar, outrageous examples of corporate greed would continue. Text reform zealots argue that these lawsuits are bogus and detrimental to the American way of life, but the authors suggest that attorneys are the only means to alleviate the excesses of corporate greed by showing multiple cases of mistakes that were purposefully ignored due to the quest for corporate gain.

This comprehensive book delves into the realm of mass tort litigation, exploring a wide range of legal cases against manufacturers and Big Pharma. The authors assert that the absence of the personal injury bar would perpetuate outrageous instances of corporate greed, as seen in various class actions such as the exploding Pinto, Agent Orange, the Opioid epidemic, concussions in the NFL, and the Boeing 737 Max scandal. However, text reform zealots argue that these lawsuits are fraudulent and harmful to the American way of life. It is, indeed, absurd to suggest such a thing.
The authors argue that attorneys are crucial in combating corporate greed by presenting multiple cases of mistakes that were purposefully ignored due to the pursuit of corporate profits. Big corporations operate based on cost-benefit analyses, which inevitably lead to lawsuits as a result of their greed. These legal actions serve as a means to hold corporations accountable for their actions and prevent further harm to individuals and society.
Mass tort litigation plays a vital role in safeguarding the rights of victims and holding corporations accountable for their misconduct. By examining these cases in detail, this book provides valuable insights into the complex dynamics of corporate greed and the legal mechanisms employed to address it. It serves as a valuable resource for lawyers, policymakers, and individuals interested in understanding the impact of mass tort litigation on society.
