Understanding Class Action Cases

Class action cases made up 31% of all federal appeals cases in 2023. With the EPA allowing 22 Louisiana plants to not regulate their contaminated wastewater and the DOL recovering over $335,000 in backpay for 114 home care workers in our state, class action claims allow individuals who went through the same thing to join forces as one single collective action.

This makes it more efficient to address wrongs that impact many people while reducing the financial burden of filing separate claims. Some of the most common types of class action claims include:

• Insurance. These class actions can range anywhere from a complaint regarding discriminatory premium charges and bills to coverage issues. These class action cases can involve large sums of money, often totaling in the tens of millions.
  
  
• Product defects. This kind of class action allows a group of consumers to file a claim if they believe they have all been injured as a result of a dangerous or defective product that has been placed on the market. This can include items like furniture, infant products, food or beverages, medications or medical devices, vehicles and vehicle parts, electronics, toys, and forms of machinery.
  
  
• Dangerous drugs and medical devices. These are some of the most common class actions and involve medications that have allegedly caused injuries, side effects, or complications that were not warned about by the pharmaceutical company. In some cases, drug manufacturers or makers of medical devices are aware of the dangers their products could cause and place them on the market anyway.
  
  
• Consumer fraud. These class action cases include a wide variety of claims and are typically filed by consumers who believe they have all suffered from some form of misconduct, such as loan fraud, overbilling, false advertising, internet or mail fraud, and other similar schemes.
  
  
• Antitrust. These class actions are typically filed by consumers who believe that they have been forced to pay a certain amount more for a service or product due to antitrust violations. This can include deceptive trade practices, overcharging, and other unfair practices like price fixing.
  
  
• Employment abuses. When a group of employees comes together to file a class action, it typically has something to do with issues regarding overtime, unpaid wage issues, and salaries, as well as worker protections in the workplace and certain employee privacy rights.
   
• Securities fraud. This form of class action works to allow investors who believe they have lost their money after investing in something due to false information or misrepresentation of the facts by a brokerage firm, stockbroker, corporation, or investment bank. These actions are also known as investment fraud, stock fraud, and stockbroker fraud.
  
  
• Toxic torts. If you have been seriously injured by oil spills, chemicals, and other toxins, you are likely not alone, and the team at Ron Austin Law can help you file a toxic tort class action in order to recover the compensation that you deserve.

Because these cases often involve big businesses, you need a team of lawyers who are not afraid of standing up and fighting for what you deserve. Big businesses hold power, and individuals often feel as if they have little chance at victory when going up against major corporations like pharmaceutical companies or oil companies.

The reality is, there is power in numbers, and at Ron Austin Law, we can help those who have experienced similar mistreatment seek the compensation and justice they deserve. Sometimes, a class action is the only way to hold these larger corporations accountable, and the good news is, no matter what, you are likely not alone.

At Ron Austin Law, our Jefferson Parish class action attorneys have extensive experience evaluating potential cases to make sure they meet the standards required under state and federal class action laws.
