Class action lawsuits can take many years of work and often involve a team of lawyers who have the experience required to see the class action lawsuit through to the end. Meta Law Group’s talented litigators have the skills and resources to take on the most challenging legal disputes.
Class action lawsuits arise when a large group of similarly situated people suffer harm due to the actions or inactions of a person, group, or corporation. For example, a large corporation sells a defective product that harms thousands of consumers or a business illegally fires a group of employees. Class actions allow the group of plaintiffs to come together as one entity to sue the defendant for a settlement. A single case represents every individual in the class, and all members of the class receive compensation.
This legal method ensures a more effective result and a more attainable justice for individuals who may not have the time or resources to file an individual lawsuit.
Some of the common advantages of class action lawsuits include:
Litigation costs are divided among class members making it more affordable to bring suit.
Because class members are united in their pursuit of justice and settlement, they are more likely to force companies to pay attention and react to their demands, preventing future harm from the wrongdoer’s illegal practices and getting a higher settlement.
The lower litigation costs will allow plaintiffs to seek relief who would not have found it financially prudent to do so in a traditional lawsuit.
If a defendant is facing multiple lawsuits, then the defendant may not have the ability to pay all of the plaintiffs. That means that earlier filing plaintiffs generally receive greater compensation for similar injuries than do later filing plaintiffs. A class action lawsuit erases this risk and allows injured parties to recover damages at the same time and in proportion to their injuries.
Common types of consumer class actions include:
This type of consumer class action might occur because the company in some way broke a contract with consumers.
This occurs when a company or corporation intentionally misleads the consumer about their product or service. This can occur either verbally or through writing
False advertising is constituted by the use of misleading information to advertise the product to consumers
A consumer class action might happen based on design defects, warranty, and product liability claims.
