MULTI PARTY ACTION

When a number of people have been adversely affected by a defective bio medical device or pharmaceutical product they can all work together to seek compensation for what has happened by taking ‘multi party action’ or ‘class action’. Coming together can have very positive effects in so far as evidence and experience can be pooled and the cost of legal action can be shared which may make the difference between viability and non-viability for taking legal action in a court of law. In addition individuals who become involved in multi party action benefit from the support of a group and do not feel isolated by their injuries.

Concentration of Evidence

Having many people involved in a multi party action helps to strengthen the lawyers arguments and a large amount of evidence from multiple sources is very difficult for a judge to overlook. Whereas an individual victim might have had extenuating circumstances that contributed to his or her problems, multiple people experiencing the same negative side effects from a drug is far less likely if the drug is not defective.
