How does TortAdvisor choose the law firms it works with?

Short answer: TortAdvisor is not a law firm. If your situation may qualify, a trained case advisor can connect you with a participating law firm that handles that type of case. You decide whether to go ahead, and you can ask any firm the questions below before signing.

  • Is the firm licensed where your case would be filed?
  • Does it handle cases like yours?
  • What are the fee terms in writing?

Filing deadlines keep running while you wait

Every claim has a statute of limitations, and in mass torts it usually keeps running while the litigation plays out. Checking early is the simplest way to protect a claim.
