Class Action
The Belt Law Firm currently represents thousands of individuals
in class action cases, fighting for their right to be treated
fairly and legally.
A lawsuit brought by groups of people suffering similar harm or
losses – by corporate misconduct, consumer or business fraud,
defective products or discrimination – is called a class action.
This harm or loss can have numerous causes, including:
- Consumer fraud
- Corporate misconduct
- Employment discrimination
- Environmental law /toxic torts
- Insurance fraud
- Finance fraud
- Federal False Claims Act (QUI TAM)
- Securities fraud
There are four requirements for a case to qualify as a class action:
- There must be multiple plaintiffs
- The plaintiffs must all have a common complaint against the defendant
- The complaint must arise out of the same, specific set of circumstances
- It must be possible for one or a few of the plaintiffs to effectively represent the entire class of plaintiffs in the proceedings
