Class Action Lawsuits - Seeger Weiss Law Firm
The attorneys at Seeger Weiss LLP bring class action lawsuits on behalf of large groups of people who have received damages from a defendant’s actions. A class action lawsuit allows multiple individuals to be represented by one lawsuit representing the interests of the whole group seeking remedy for damages received from a defendant’s actions. Class action litigation is more common in the United States and has been used in various forms of personal injury and commercial litigation including those involving asbestos and mesothelioma, drug and toxic injury, and securities.
Class action lawsuits are typically used as a form of litigation against a business whose actions, policies, or products resulted in damage across a class of individuals and/or business entities in a uniform manner. A motion must be filed by the lawyers at Seeger Weiss LLP for the proposed class of individuals and/or business entities to be considered “class certified” by the court after the complaint is filed. Class certification may require additional actions of discovery including interrogations, motions or requests for documents, requests for admissions, and depositions during the pre-trial phase of the lawsuit. The additional actions of discovery are in order to determine if the proposed class of individuals and/or business entities meets the standards to be considered class certified.
Since a proposed class of plaintiffs includes a broad range of individuals and/or businesses, a notice must be given to class members of the opportunity to join into the class action lawsuit. Also, if a settlement has been proposed in a class action lawsuit, a notice must be provided to class members. The notices provide the opportunity for others in the class to accept the terms and benefits of the class action lawsuit, or opt to pursue litigation on their own.
The lawyers at Seeger Weiss LLP will make efforts to prevent the defendants in class action lawsuits from having the court dismiss the certification of the class. Defendants may claim to the court that the class of individuals and/or businesses does not sufficiently represent the class. They may also argue that the legal issues in this particular kind of case do not appropriately represent a class action lawsuit. Seeger Weiss LLP’s attorneys are professionally experienced in class action lawsuits, and know how to thwart these types of legal objections. Additionally, their skills are respected by the court system. As a result, any effort by defendants to challenge Seeger Weiss LLP’s ability and resources to prosecute a class action lawsuit on behalf of the plaintiffs is a non-issue.
