According to Mr. Brown, who has successfully represented hundreds of mass torts victims of different products, its critical to hire a lawyer who is experienced in the mass tort field as early as possible to try and gather as much proofs as possible while they�re still available and to put the defendant on notice because of something known as the statute of limitations. His firm will still look at cases in which conventional wisdom suggests it may be too dated, because there�s strength in numbers and there may be ways to overcome the statute of limitations based on events other than the diagnosis of ovarian cancer.
