Other Civil Litigation

Class action: Sometimes recoveries in individual cases are too small individually or too costly to pursue individually. Class actions overcome these problems by allowing all claims to be brought at the same time.

Class actions are often suitable for resolving claims to enforce compliance with consumer protection laws. A company may overcharge each individual consumer by only a small amount, resulting in substantial gains for the company over time. Typically, companies that engage in this kind of behavior assume most consumers won't discover the small overcharge or do anything about it if they do. Don't be surprised if you are cheated by so called "respectable" businesses. Phone companies, finance companies, banks and electric companies may engage in these practices and mislead customers into paying too much.

Consumer protection: An individual or business may be entitled to compensation for financial losses resulting from unfair, fraudulent or deceptive business practices. The law permits recovery of actual financial losses such as lost profits. In some instances, additional damages intended to punish the wrongdoer and prevent other businesses from engaging in such practices are awarded.

There are several laws which can help people who have had a company break their promises, or fail to stand behind their product. Some of these include:

1. Merchandising Practices Act
2. Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act
3. Truth in lending.
