What Is a Class Action?
A class action lawsuit allows people with similar claims to join together in one case. Instead of filing separate lawsuits, victims can combine their claims to save time, reduce costs, and strengthen their case.
Class actions are often used in cases involving:
- Defective products
- Data breaches and cybersecurity failures
- Insurance disputes and denied claims
- Antitrust violations and price-fixing
- Unfair or deceptive business practices
Class actions help level the playing field between consumers and large corporations. By working together, victims can hold companies accountable, recover losses, and push for safer business practices.
Our class action attorneys represent individuals, businesses, and government entities nationwide. If you were harmed by a defective product, data breach, or unfair business practice, we are ready to help you take action.
Defective Auto Products
Our firm has led major class action lawsuits against automakers like General Motors, Volkswagen, Toyota, and Fiat Chrysler. These cases involve vehicle defects that put drivers and passengers at risk and often cause serious financial loss.
Auto defects can affect thousands of vehicles at once, making class action lawsuits a powerful way to hold manufacturers accountable. Many of these issues involve safety systems that fail when drivers need them most.
We handle claims involving:
- Dangerous vehicle systems that create safety risks or unexpected failures
- Faulty ignition switches
- Defective airbags
Dangerous Consumer Products
We represent consumers harmed by unsafe products used in everyday life. When companies release dangerous products, class action lawsuits can help protect the public and prevent further harm.
These cases often involve products that were poorly designed, improperly tested, or sold without proper warnings.
Examples of cases we have handled include:
- Rock ‘n Play Sleepers linked to infant deaths, resulting in a $19 million settlement
- Johnson & Johnson talcum powder linked to serious health risks
- Benzene-contaminated sunscreens and other unsafe household products
We work to remove harmful products from the market, hold manufacturers accountable, and help consumers recover compensation.
Data Breach Litigation
A data breach occurs when personal or financial information is exposed, stolen, or accessed without permission. These incidents can lead to identity theft, fraud, and lasting financial harm.
As more personal data is stored online, companies have a duty to protect it. When they fail, class action lawsuits can help hold them responsible and improve data security.
Our class action attorneys have handled major data breach cases, including:
- Target, with a $39 million settlement for financial institutions
- Home Depot, with $27.2 million paid to affected consumers
- AT&T, with a $177 million proposed settlement pending final approval over the 2024 breaches
- Ongoing litigation involving Aflac
We investigate how the breach happened, uncover security failures, and push for stronger protections for consumers.
Insurance Class Actions
Insurance class actions often involve company-wide practices that harm policyholders. These practices can affect large groups of people who rely on their coverage during important times.
In many cases, insurers use policies or procedures that delay payouts, deny valid claims, or reduce the amount owed.
Our attorneys handle cases involving:
- Life, health, auto, and property insurance
- Unfair claim denials or reductions
- Company policies that impact large groups of policyholders
We work to hold insurance companies accountable and ensure policyholders are treated fairly.
Antitrust Litigation
Antitrust class actions focus on stopping unfair business practices that limit competition and raise prices for consumers.
These cases may involve:
- Price-fixing or market manipulation
- Monopolies that limit consumer choice
- Unfair practices that increase costs
Our firm recently helped secure a $2.8 billion settlement against Blue Cross and Blue Shield—the largest antitrust settlement in U.S. healthcare history.
We continue to challenge companies that put profits over fair competition.
