Seeger Weiss LLP
One of the nation’s preeminent plaintiffs’ law firms, Seeger Weiss is best known for multidistrict mass torts and class actions in both state and federal court. From offices in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Massachusetts, the firm has represented over 10,000 individuals, companies, and governments across the U.S. who have been injured or defrauded on a massive scale. Since its founding in 1999, it has led many of the most complex and high-profile cases in the country: the National Prescription Opiate Litigation, which the Washington Post called “the largest federal court case in U.S. history”; 3M Combat Arms Earplug Products Liability Litigation, which the Minneapolis Star Tribune called “one of the largest mass torts ever”; the ongoing “Dieselgate” scandal; the sprawling multistate litigation on behalf of survivors of child sexual abuse; and the history-making Football League Players’ Concussion Injury Litigation. Unlike many plaintiffs’ firms, Seeger Weiss doesn’t simply “collect” clients for other lawyers to serve. We go to court and get results, regularly winning amounts in hundreds of millions and billions of dollars on behalf of large classes of injured clients. Whatever the case, we have the experience and resources necessary to go toe-to-toe with the biggest and best-funded corporations in America.
