Results for tag: "Class Action"

Class action lawsuits are a type of legal action in which a large group of people collectively bring a claim to court. The group, known as the “class”, is represented by one or more individuals who are the “class representatives”. The class action lawsuit is typically used when a large number of people have suffered similar harm, such as a breach of contract or a product defect. The class action lawsuit allows the group to pursue a claim as a single entity, rather than having to file individual lawsuits. Class action lawsuits are often used to seek compensation for damages, such as medical bills, lost wages, or other losses. They can also be used to seek injunctive relief, such as a court order requiring a company to change its practices or stop a certain activity. The class action market is a growing area of legal practice, with many firms specializing in this type of litigation. Companies in the market include Hagens Berman, Lieff Cabraser Heimann & Bernstein, and Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd. Show Less Read more
