Building a Data-Driven Mass Tort Practice: The Operational Shift from Single Cases to Mass Torts

Success in mass tort litigation is not just a legal challenge. It is an operational one. While many personal injury firms excel at managing individual cases, mass torts introduce new challenges related to claimant volume, engagement, documentation, inventory management, and settlement administration. Processes that are effective in a single-case environment often become difficult to scale across thousands of claimants. Drawing on experience supporting law firms, legal service providers, class action administrators, and other organizations that manage large claimant populations, this session explores five operational areas critical to mass tort success: Claimant Acquisition and Qualification, Claimant Engagement, Documentation and Claim Readiness, Inventory Management and Data Quality, and Settlement Readiness & Claim Validation Attendees will leave with a clear operational perspective on what it takes to transition from a single-case practice to a scalable mass tort operation, and practical examples of how data-driven solutions can help address common operational challenges across the claimant lifecycle.
