Class Action
When you are injured by an auto manufacturer, a bank, a hospital or an oil company—you need to bring them to justice. But where do you begin? You feel like your case is too little to matter. Perhaps you only lost a few dollars, or your injury was small. Do not give up! Silence never won rights. Rights are not handed down from above; they are forced by pressures from below.
Class actions allow people to pursue individual lawsuits that are too small to warrant the cost of being brought alone. For example, when a corporation engages in illegal billing practices by overcharging each customer $20, the individual customer will be discouraged from spending the money to hire an attorney and file suit to recover the $20. However, when the corporation has overcharged hundreds of thousands of customers, it is making large amounts of money through illegal conduct. The class action allows this group of customers to combine their claims in one action. A class action allows the combined potential recovery to justify the cost of bringing your suit. Class action provide incentive for every day citizens to counteract exploitation by unfair business practices.
