Confidently Hire a Georgia Lawyer for Your Class Actions Case

A class action lawsuit is one in which a group of people with the same or similar injuries caused by the same product or action sue the defendant as a group. People seek justice in class action lawsuits when their injuries have been caused by defective products, including pharmaceutical drugs, motor vehicles and other consumer products, and medical devices. Other types of conduct over which people have sued as a class include consumer fraud, corporate misconduct, securities fraud, and employment practices.

It is recommended to consult with an experienced class action lawsuit attorney to review the specifics of your case and help you determine eligibility. The court overseeing the lawsuit typically sets the requirements. While laws vary by state, some general considerations include:

  • Shared legal claim
  • Class definition
  • Exclusionary factors
  • Notice and opt-in period

If you are considering participating in a class action lawsuit, potential benefits can include:

  • Efficiency and cost savings
  • Increased access to justice
  • Potential for significant compensation
  • Change in corporate behavior

State laws vary on the process involved in a class action lawsuit. An experienced class action lawyer can sort through the specifics of your case and help you navigate through the process in your area. Generally, the process involved in filing a class action lawsuit includes:

  • Filing the complaint
  • Class certification
  • Notice to class members
  • Discovery
  • Settlement negotiations or trail
  • Judgment or settlement approval

Whether you purchased a defective product, have been involved in an investment scheme or are experiencing mistreatment on the job, you may run into other people who have similar experiences. In these situations, a class action lawyer can help. If you and others have been injured or suffered a monetary loss due to an organization’s action, you can use the power of collective action (a class action lawsuit) to earn compensation.

A class-action lawsuit allows many people with the same claim – both those located in Georgia and nationwide – against an organization to act at the same time. Depending on the action, different people may have experienced different types of harm. They will be sorted into “classes” in the lawsuit.

Because of the size and complexity of class action lawsuits, not every law firm is equipped to handle them. We have assembled a list of law firms that are capable of handling these claims for you and others who have experienced the same type of harm.

  • Financial crimes – Securities and investment fraud, including Ponzi schemes, are one of the most common reasons people seek collective action. Famous examples include Bernie Madoff and the Wells Fargo account fraud scandals.
  • Dangerous drugs/health products – Prescription drugs, over the counter medication and medical devices can harm many people due to their widespread use to treat a variety of medical conditions. Examples include lawsuits related to talcum powder and opioids.
  • Defective products – Many people can purchase a number of goods before they realize something is wrong. In 2010, Toyota was the defendant in a lawsuit related to defective airbags. Class action lawsuits can be an important step in improving product safety for consumers in the future.
  • Employment actions – Employees may experience widespread discrimination, termination or wage theft. One employee missing a few hundred dollars on their paycheck may not make a viable lawsuit. However, many employees who have experienced the same thing can take action together.
  • Environmental hazards – Many people can be harmed when an organization does not follow rules the related to the disposal of chemicals and other environmental hazards. For example, people who live along a river may use a class action lawsuit to recover damages due to a company dumping chemicals in the water.
  • Civil rights violations – Businesses that do not accommodate people with disabilities or police departments that have engaged in racial profiling have been subject to class-action lawsuits in the past.

These and other types of class action claims can be further complicated when they are interwoven with issues such as the COVID-19/coronavirus pandemic or other factors that can amplify the harm that people experience.

Many lawyers offer free or low-cost consultations. Finding a lawyer that can align to your needs and goals may impact the outcome of your legal matter. Things to do to help get you started include:

  • Ask for recommendations and referrals from friends, family, and colleagues
  • Research attorneys online through directories and bar association websites

  • Interview prospective lawyers
  • Consider compatibility
  • Read client reviews and references
