Average Mass Tort Settlement Amount by Tort
Each person impacted by a mass tort case will receive a settlement based on the specific circumstances of their case, unlike class-action lawsuits where the awarded amount is divided evenly amongst all involved. For this reason, settlement amounts for Mass Tort cases can vary widely depending on the severity of the case.
| Tort Type | Average Settlement Amount |
|---|---|
| 3M Earplugs | $127,500 |
| Bard PowerPort | $130,000 |
| Roundup (Glyphosate) | $160,000 |

Average Mass Tort Settlement Amount by State
All US states have negligence laws in place that dictate when and how organizations can be held responsible for the harm of others. These laws typically fall under three different categories – pure comparative negligence, modified comparative negligence (50% rule), and modified comparative negligence (51% rule).
| Negligence Law Type | Description | States |
|---|---|---|
| Pure Comparative Negligence Laws | Mandates that you can recover damages even if partially at fault. If you’re 90% responsible, you can still seek 10% of damages. | Alaska, Arizona, California, Florida, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, New Mexico, New York, Rhode Island, Washington |
| Modified Comparative Negligence (50% Rule) | Mandates that you can not seek compensation if you’re 50% or more responsible. | Arkansas, Colorado, Georgia, Idaho, Kansas, Maine, Nebraska, North Dakota, Tennessee, Utah |
| Modified Comparative Negligence (51% Rule) | Mandates that you can seek compensation if you’re 50% responsible, but not if you’re 51% or more responsible. | Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Texas, Vermont, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Wyoming |
These negligence laws ultimately impact both the amount of mass tort cases that are brought about and how much the average mass tort settlement amounts are in each state.
