By their nature, mass tort claims present risks for substantial liability exposure. Rarely are these claims isolated events. Multiple plaintiffs will file individual actions that allege injury from a common “hazardous” source.  These actions can easily give rise to millions of dollars in potential liability.

But, while the stakes may be high, there are always a variety of defense strategies available. Daniel Coker attorneys use their experience in mass tort cases to defend clients by all means available.  With demonstrated success defending businesses in a broad range of industries, Daniel Coker is a trusted defense firm in Mississippi and beyond for complex mass tort cases.
