Class Actions We Handle

A class action is a legal process that allows a large group of individuals with similar claims to file a lawsuit collectively against a common defendant. In a class action, all plaintiffs (the “class”) are treated as a single entity. A class representative files the lawsuit on behalf of the entire group, and any settlement or verdict is divided equally among the class members.

Shaw Lewenz has a wide-ranging practice in prosecuting and defending class action lawsuits, including cases involving:

Consumer Protection: Claims for issues like hidden fees, false advertising, or misleading product labels that affect a group of consumers.Product Liability: Cases involving defective products, such as faulty electronics or harmful pharmaceuticals, that cause harm to many people.

Securities Fraud: Investors suing a company for misleading financial statements, insider trading, or stock manipulation.

Antitrust: Cases where companies are accused of price-fixing, monopolizing markets, or colluding to reduce competition.

Data Breach/Privacy: Claims arising from a company’s failure to protect sensitive data, leading to identity theft or misuse of personal information.

Environmental: Lawsuits against companies responsible for pollution, chemical spills, or other environmental damages affecting communities.

Insurance: Cases involving unfair denial of claims, underpayment, or deceptive practices by insurers.
