A class action lawsuit allows numerous plaintiffs to pursue justice as a group – a group known as a class. All members of a class must have suffered the same damages from the same cause. For example, our class action attorneys have secured compensation on behalf of deserving clients who have suffered from data breaches, employment violations, false advertising, and other consumer rights violations.
Bringing thousands of lawsuits for each individual involved in a class action case would cause unreasonable delays in the damaged parties’ pursuits of justice. Class actions also allow clients who may have low damages to bring a claim. For example, if a company is overcharging by $0.10 for each transaction, an individual may have only lost a few dollars.
However, when that low dollar number is multiplied by tens of thousands or millions of people, the company’s extra charges add up! In a case like this, as well as several others, a judge can authorize the formation of a class.
Our class action lawsuit lawyers bring over 300 years of combined experience in pursuing class actions, bringing justice to victims of data breaches, false advertising, wage and hour violations, illegal pollution, illegal data sharing, and discrimination. We are so proud that we have been able to deliver justice to millions of people in this manner. Our team of class action attorneys is ready to fight for anyone who has suffered damages. Contact us today to discuss if a class action might be the right approach for your pursuit of justice.
