Class and Collective Actions

Many people have received court notices in the mail that they are a member of a class action lawsuit. In essence a class action is a group of people who have the same complaint against an organization and are seeking damages. The examples of class action situations are unlimited:

• A group of hourly employees working at one company regularly work more than 40 hours per week and are not compensated for their time.
• An inferior product was sold to many people, but the seller refused to repair the product or issue refunds for returns.
• A group of victims of a severe natural disaster get no response when they attempt to get claims paid from the same insurance company.

In many cases, the economic realities of protracted litigation make it difficult or impossible to pursue an individual claim against a large corporate defendant. Class and collective actions allow people who are victim of the same wrongful policy to join forces and benefit from strength in numbers.
