What is a Class Action Lawsuit?

A class action lawsuit is a form of lawsuit where a large group of people collectively bring a claim to court. The claims and rights of many people are decided in a single case. The purpose of class action lawsuits is to give the so-called “little people” the ability to take on the largest corporations and have a chance to address the wrongs done to the people by them.

All people who are members of the class action lawsuit are supposed to have equal input, and rights to any monies paid or remedies ordered by the court.

Class action lawsuits are often used to seek damages in cases of consumer fraud, human and civil rights violations, defective product and defective drug and medical device disputes. Your class action attorney should be experienced in the area of the law relevant to your case. Your attorney should also have the resources available to research and handle your case properly.

Class action attorneys are usually paid an amount determined by the court, only if the case has a successful outcome.

If you live in Hamilton or Toronto, Ontario, Canada or the surrounding area and you have questions about a class action lawsuit, please contact an experienced class action attorney at the Findlay Law Offices in Hamilton, Ontario today to schedule a confidential consultation at no cost to you.
