Get Help Fighting the Negligence of Big Corporations

Were you recently hurt due to the negligence of a big corporation? Sometimes, in my experience as a personal injury lawyer, I come across potential claims that were experienced by two or more individuals who were hurt by the same defendant. Their combined damages may constitute a viable class action lawsuit. Here are some examples of cases that might result in a class action lawsuit:

• Product liability claims against manufacturers that knew their products could cause harm
• Workplace liability claims in which multiple workers were harmed from the same exposure or process
• Data breaches compromising consumer information
• A big disaster such as an explosion or an oil spill that injured or killed many victims

When I consider the needs of a potential claimant, I look for some of the same elements that make a viable case against a defendant. We also seek information from our clients regarding their injuries, lost wages, and pain and suffering. Sometimes those claims and injuries might be the same or similar to others in California our throughout the Country. In these case we organize a class action lawsuit.

What to Consider in a Class Action Lawsuit

In California, we want to hold corporations responsible for their misconduct. A class action lawsuit is brought against a company for its negligence or intentional harm. The intimidating part is most large corporations, including nationals and multi-nationals, have unlimited resources. They have the means to fight a person's claim for years in court, which could result in the victim never collecting a penny for his or her losses. That being said, we do not get intimidated. We organize our claims resting upon significant proof of liability and damages to the injured victims and their families. Here are some considerations for a class action claim:

• How many people were seriously injured, impaired, or killed as a result?
• Was the corporation directly or indirectly responsible for these damages?
• How should the corporation have acted differently to prevent these injuries and deaths?
• Has the defendant already offered the victims compensation for their injuries or deaths? Were their offers reasonable?
