Call The Harris Firm LLC today at (205) 201-1789
Injury cases are won on evidence and deadlines. The sooner you talk to a lawyer, the more of both you keep. Every injury and mass tort consultation at The Harris Firm LLC is free — by phone or in person at any of our four offices.
In short: The Harris Firm LLC handles personal injury and mass tort claims for clients across Alabama — from car wrecks and slip and falls to the major national drug, device, and toxic exposure litigations.
How it works: We sign you up, gather your records, and prosecute your claim — and in the large national litigations we work alongside experienced trial co-counsel, with every arrangement disclosed to you and agreed in writing. You hire one firm and get the strength of two.
What it costs: Nothing up front. Injury and mass tort consultations are free by phone or in person, and these cases are handled on a contingency fee — no attorney fee unless there is a recovery.
The deadline that matters: Most Alabama injury claims must be filed within two years under Alabama Code §6-2-38, and Alabama wrongful death claims within two years under §6-5-410. Some exceptions apply, but waiting is how good cases die. Call early.

Mass Tort Claims We Are Currently Accepting

These are the litigations we are accepting now:

What a Mass Tort Actually Is
A mass tort is not a class action. In a class action, thousands of people share one lawsuit and one outcome. In a mass tort, your claim stays yours — your injuries, your medical records, your recovery — but it moves through a coordinated national process alongside thousands of similar claims, usually in what courts call multidistrict litigation, or an MDL. That coordination is what forces billion-dollar manufacturers to the table.
What that means for you is simple: your case gets the leverage of a national litigation without losing its individual value. Our job is to make sure your claim is filed on time, documented thoroughly, and positioned to recover what your specific injuries are worth — not a share of somebody’s average.
How We Handle Your Injury or Mass Tort Case
One local firm, start to finish — with national resources brought in when your case benefits from them.
Free Consultation and Case Evaluation
Tell us what happened, what you were exposed to or prescribed, and what your diagnosis is. We tell you honestly whether you have a claim worth pursuing — free, by phone or in person.
Sign-Up and Records
The engagement is signed electronically, and we get to work collecting medical records, prescription histories, and proof of product use — the evidence that qualifies and values your claim.
Prosecution — With Co-Counsel Where It Helps
Local injury cases are handled here. In the national litigations, we associate experienced trial co-counsel who are leading those dockets — disclosed to you and agreed in writing, at no added cost to you. Your relationship stays with us.
Resolution — No Fee Unless You Recover
Whether by settlement or judgment, the attorney fee comes out of the recovery, never out of your pocket. If there is no recovery, you owe no attorney fee. That is the whole deal.
A Local Firm With National Reach
The TV firms want your signature and your patience. We think you deserve more than a case number. When you hire The Harris Firm LLC, you get an Alabama firm with four real offices, attorneys who answer their phones, and a staff that has guided thousands of Alabamians through the legal system — combined with the resources of national trial counsel when your case calls for them.
And because injury cases often touch the rest of life — an estate that needs opening, a divorce already in motion, a child’s custody — it helps that your injury lawyers sit down the hall from a full family law and probate practice. Attorneys can also send us cases directly through our Refer a Case page.
Mass Tort & Injury — Frequently Asked Questions
1.What does it cost to hire you for an injury or mass tort case?
Nothing up front. The consultation is free by phone or in person, and these cases are handled on a contingency fee — the attorney fee is a percentage of the recovery, and if there is no recovery, you owe no attorney fee.
2.Will The Harris Firm LLC actually handle my case, or hand it off?
Your relationship is with us, start to finish. Local injury cases are handled by our attorneys. In the large national litigations, we associate experienced trial co-counsel who lead those dockets — every arrangement is disclosed to you and agreed in writing, it adds nothing to your cost, and we remain your firm throughout.
3.How do I know if I qualify for one of the mass tort claims?
Each litigation has its own criteria — usually a combination of proof you used or were exposed to the product and a qualifying diagnosis. That is exactly what the free consultation sorts out. Have your diagnosis and rough dates of use handy and we can usually tell you quickly.
4.How long do I have to file an injury claim in Alabama?
Most Alabama personal injury claims must be filed within two years, and wrongful death claims within two years of the death. Some claims have different or shorter windows, and mass tort deadlines can turn on when you discovered the connection to the product. Do not try to calculate it yourself — call and let us do it.
5.Do I have to travel or go to court?
Usually not. Mass tort claims are handled almost entirely through records and filings — sign-up is electronic, and most clients never appear anywhere. Local injury cases sometimes require a deposition or court appearance, and if yours does, we prepare you and we are there with you.
6.How long does a mass tort case take?
Longer than anyone wants — often two to five years, sometimes more, because these litigations resolve in waves as trials and settlements unfold. What we control is making sure your claim is filed on time, fully documented, and never the one holding things up. We keep you posted as your litigation moves.
