Examples of Our Cancer Litigation Work

Levy Konigsberg has led the field in litigating complex cancer-related claims for plaintiffs across the country. Our work has resulted in record results, millions of dollars in verdicts and settlements for clients, and landmark rulings that have set legal precedent and changed public policy.

Here are some examples of our cancer litigation results, media coverage, and important cases:

Individual & MDL Lawsuits vs. Class Actions

Because cancer-related litigation often involves issues of great concern to the public and issues that impact large populations of consumers and communities, many of these cases are consolidated through court processes that make them more efficient to litigate.

But while consolidation in large cases may be necessary, it’s important for plaintiffs with potential claims to understand the type of case they have and what prospective lawyers may be offering. This is especially true when it comes to multi-district litigation, or “mass torts,” and class actions.

The distinct difference between mass torts (MDLs) and class actions is that MDLs allow plaintiffs to maintain their individual claims and pursue financial recoveries commensurate with their damages. This is an important point to understand, as participation in an MDL is more likely to position a plaintiff for a recovery that more accurately reflects their damages and which is typically larger than what’s available through class action litigation.

At Levy Konigsberg, we believe in the importance of helping victims secure the compensation they deserve and have extensive experience litigating mass torts involving cancer-related claims in federal courts across the country, as well as individual lawsuits. We can help you understand the type of litigation applicable to your case and how we may be able to help.

Recoverable Damages in Cancer Claims

Victims in cancer-related claims are entitled to a financial recovery of their damages. While every case is different, these damages generally include:

In cases involving fatal cancers, qualifying family members who file wrongful death and survival actions can recover other types of compensation, including:

In some cases, courts may also award plaintiffs punitive damages. Punitive damages are a class of damages meant to further punish defendants whose conduct rises to an unacceptable standard of negligence, wrongdoing, or impunity. Punitive damages are not awarded in every case, but they are not uncommon in high-stakes and emotionally turbulent cases like those involving cancer diagnoses.
