ATL also handles so-called “Class Action” lawsuits” against companies, seeking to protect the interests of consumers. When one consumer is injured, harmed or damaged by something that affects many other people, the case can be brought on behalf of a “class”. The class consists of all of the people who suffered the same injury, harm or damage.
Many times, consumers lose a small amount of money, or suffer a small amount of harm, as a result of something a company does, and that amount is not large enough for the consumer to seek to recover it in court. By filing the case as a Class Action, that one consumer can represent other consumers who have also suffered the same loss. Just because many people have been harmed in a small amount should not mean that they cannot seek justice from the Courts. A Class Action is one way that courts can give compensation to large groups of injured consumers who have been injured.
ATL brings an array of class actions based around the protection of consumers, including class actions where consumers are being mislead, defrauded and/or being sold defective products. If you believe you fall into this category, feel free to contact ATL and ATL will be happy to discuss your case in a free consultation.
