Brooklyn Class Action Lawyer

You have a right to seek compensation if you suffered injuries due to someone else’s negligence. Taking legal action against a large corporation can be difficult, though. If other individuals suffered similar losses because of the same person or company’s negligence, a class action lawsuit becomes an option. 

The Brooklyn class action lawyers at Morelli Law Firm can review your case and determine if you can join a class action lawsuit or begin one. From there, we can guide you through the legal process.

Our Brooklyn Class Action Lawsuit Attorneys Help Multiple Victims Seek Compensation 

The purpose of a class action lawsuit is to unite multiple victims to take legal action against the same defendant. This benefits victims who would not independently file a lawsuit due to the cost of litigation. In a class action lawsuit, those costs are divided among the group, which then shares in the awarded compensation. 

Typically, there will be a representative of the class that speaks on behalf of the entire class. In order to certify as a class in the eyes of the court, you will have to prove certain things. Mainly, you must show that the claimants in the class are posing the same questions regarding laws and facts.

Our Brooklyn legal team can figure out if you qualify to join a current class action lawsuit or even start one. 

Different Kinds of Class Action Lawsuits Our Law Firm Can Help With

Class action lawsuits are often brought against large corporations that have teams of defense attorneys at their disposal. Our class action lawsuit attorneys in Brooklyn can help you fight a common defendant. 

Some examples of class action lawsuits we can handle include:

• Mass tort lawsuits, which typically involve product liability or environmental hazards
• Antitrust lawsuits, which occur when companies engage in illegal practices that affect the market
• Employees’ rights violations, such as wage and service hours violations
• Consumer class action lawsuits, when companies engage in harmful false advertising or other fraudulent activities
• Civil rights cases, involving systemic discrimination against a protected class of people

It can be difficult to determine if you qualify for a class action lawsuit on your own. Our law firm can determine the best course of action to seek compensation after suffering injuries or losses. 

There Is a Difference Between Class Action Lawsuits and Multidistrict Litigation

Class action lawsuits are different from multidistrict litigation (MDL). With MDLs, each plaintiff files an individual lawsuit against the same corporation or entity. The courts may decide to group these separate cases into one MDL. 

Our firm can determine which type of litigation applies to your case. We can explore your legal options during a free consultation. Call Morelli Law Firm today to get started on your case. 

A Class Action Lawsuit Can Yield Various Forms of Compensation

Like individual lawsuits, you can seek damages for both economic and non-economic losses, such as:

• Medical expenses
• Loss of future earning potential
• Lost wages
• Pain and suffering
• Scarring and disfigurement
• Loss of consortium

In class action lawsuits, the plaintiff may share their potential compensation equally, or each individual plaintiff will receive an amount of compensation proportional to their losses. Other factors may also affect the division of compensation. 

Our class action lawyers in Brooklyn can tell you more about your potential financial recovery when we discuss your case. We are only a phone call away. 

You Still Have a Legal Deadline to Meet When Filing a Class Action Suit

As with any other personal injury case, you have a legal deadline to file your class action lawsuit. CVP §214(5) generally allows you to file within three years. Certain exceptions may apply. 

If your case involves environmental hazards or defective products, this deadline may start counting down from the date you discovered your illness was caused by negligence or the date you reasonably should have discovered this connection. 

Once you reach out to our law firm, we can determine how long you have to file your class action lawsuit. We will do everything in our power to meet this deadline, such as keeping an eye on the clock during negotiations. 

How Our Brooklyn Class Action Lawsuit Lawyers Can Help

Aside from meeting your legal deadlines, our class action attorneys can handle the entirety of your case. You can focus on resting and recovering from your injuries or illness while we handle the legal legwork. 

Typically, class action lawsuits begin with negotiations. If we cannot secure a fair settlement offer, we will move to discovery. This is a process during which the plaintiffs and defendant gather evidence for their arguments. 

Finally, we can represent you in a trial, arguing your case before a judge or jury. We will seek a court-awarded offer and help you understand how you will receive your potential compensation.
