Class Action Lawsuits in South Jersey
Class Action Attorneys in New Jersey

Class ActionWhen a large corporation acts in a way that adversely affects many people, a class action lawsuit sends a strong message to the corporation by allowing all affected individuals to join in bringing action against the corporation with one voice.

Types of Class Action Lawsuits

To begin the process of filing your class action lawsuit in South Jersey, you must define what has happened and what type of class action suit should be filed.  Depending on the corporation’s actions and the area in which the action has occurred, our skilled attorneys can determine the type of lawsuit and how to properly proceed with your best interests at the forefront.

Here is a brief overview of several types of class action lawsuits:

  • Antitrust claims: Antitrust laws discourage businesses from forming monopolies and imposing restrictive practices in an effort to encourage competition. Companies who break this law may be held liable.
  • Consumer actions:  Every consumer is protected by consumer action laws that govern the consumer’s purchases. If a company breaks this law, you have the right to file a lawsuit.  This may include things such as illegal charges on a bill, overcharging for bank services, penalizing the consumer for late payments or using misleading information to sell products fall into this class.
  • Consumer product claims:  If a defective product causes bodily harm, it is your right to file a claim. Failure to correctly label a product, manufacturing defects and safety issues related to tobacco belong to this class, also called ‘product liability’. Defective medical devices, such as IUDs or diet drugs that cause injury or death also fall into this category.
  • Breach of warranty:  Breach of Warranty is defined as a failure on the part of a retailer or manufacturer to follow through with a promise or claim about a product. If you purchased an item that does not work as promised, fails to work at all or no longer works as described, you may be able to file a suit for losses or damages. 
  • Shareholders of companies can also use class actions to hold executives accountable for poor management or misleading investment information.
  • Employment claims:  Employment claims can include harassment, discrimination, promotion practices, underpaid compensation, workplace injury and a lack of benefits, to name a few.
