Class Action

A Class Action lawsuit combines cases where multiple consumers experience harm from a product, often related to defective items, data breaches, or unfair business practices.

What Is a Class Action?

A class action combines similar claims into one lawsuit, making it easier and more efficient for victims to pursue compensation. These cases often involve:

  • Defective products
  • Data breaches and cybersecurity failures
  • Insurance disputes
  • Antitrust violations
  • Unfair business practices

Class actions level the playing field between consumers and powerful corporations. They allow victims to share resources, reduce legal costs, and drive meaningful change in industries that affect millions. Our attorneys represent individuals, businesses, and government entities in class actions across the country. If you’ve been harmed by a defective product, unfair business practice, or data breach, our class action attorneys are ready to help you fight back. 

Defective Auto Products

Beasley Allen has led class actions against major automakers—including General Motors, Volkswagen, Toyota, and Fiat Chrysler—for defects that caused financial loss and safety risks. These cases involve faulty ignition switches, airbags, and other dangerous vehicle components.

Dangerous Consumer Products

We handle a variety of other consumer product class actions and are committed to protecting consumers from the dangers of unsafe products.  Some of the class actions we have handled include:

  • Rock ‘n Play Sleepers: Linked to infant deaths; now banned from sale. Our work in this case led to a $19 million settlement.
  • Johnson & Johnson Talcum Powder: Associated with ovarian cancer.
  • Benzene-contaminated sunscreens and other unsafe household items.

Our goal is to protect consumers from products that cause harm.

Data Breach Litigation

A data breach happens when someone who shouldn’t have access to your personal information gets hold of it. With so much of our data stored electronically, it’s easy for it to be lost or not properly protected. Our team of class action attorneys has tackled some of the country’s most notable data breaches, including:

  • Target: $39 million settlement for financial institutions
  • Home Depot: $27.2 million in cash for affected consumers
  • AT&T and Aflac: Ongoing litigation to recover losses and improve data security

We uncover corporate negligence and fight for stronger protections.

Insurance Class Actions

When insurers use unfair policies to deny claims or reduce payouts, we take action. 

Insurance class actions occur most frequently when an insurance carrier has a company-wide policy that attempts to avert its commitments to the policyholders, causing economic harm. Our attorneys pursue class actions against companies that violate their obligations to policyholders across life, health, auto, and property insurance.

Antitrust Litigation

Antitrust class action litigation was created to prevent monopolies from taking control of entire industries, limiting consumer options, and putting more wealth in fewer entities’ hands. Antitrust class actions involve monopolies, price-fixing or predatory pricing, and other acts of unfair competition.

Beasley Allen 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 monopolies, price-fixing, and other anti-competitive conduct that harms consumers.
