Class Action

In a class action, a few victims represent a larger number of people who have suffered a loss, an injury or damage from a product or service, and the settlement or verdict achieved is shared by the entire class.

Class actions are designed to obtain fair compensation or another type of remedy for the harm done to a large number of people.

Examples of class actions include:

Dangerous and recalled drugs such as Vioxx and fen-phen
Medical devices such as breast implants and pacemakers
Employment practices such as race or gender discrimination
Defective products such as tires and other auto components
Practices such as denial of insurance claims
Toxic exposures like benzene or asbestos
