Mass Litigation Claim Services

Helping you through when claims turn toxic

As consumers become more connected on the Internet through social networking sites, experts predict an increase in mass tort claims. Should this happen to your company, Zurich's Mass Litigation Claims team is here to help. This team manages all third-party claims arising out of an allegedly defective or harmful product or condition that (1) results in bodily injury or property damage that occurs over time, (2) has no single date of loss, or (3) results in the possible trigger of more than one policy period.

Our Mass Litigation team handles existing and newly emerging claim exposures involving asbestos, silica, benzene, lead paint, toxic chemicals, pharmaceuticals, medical devices, other latent and toxic tort injuries and class-action litigation involving statutory violations.

Managing multi-jurisdictional litigation across the U.S., the Mass Litigation team uses a streamlined claim management process to help reduce the cost and uncertainty associated with these complex claims:

• Our own highly-skilled team includes many attorneys, and we use a network of law firms with a proven track record of resolving complex mass and toxic tort matters.
• A single point person coordinates your claim and stays in close communication with you.
• We begin evaluation and investigation immediately upon first report of the claim and apply strategies to reach a favorable conclusion as quickly as possible.
• We make effective use of technology both in managing the typically long life-span of mass tort claims and in legal bill review.
