Class Actions
Often times, large groups of consumers are harmed and damaged by the unscrupulous, unfair, dangerous and sometimes outright deceitful business practices of large or even medium sized corporations. Most of the time, it is inefficient for one injured party to pursue a claim, because even the maximum compensation can easily be outweighed by the costs of litigation. Unfortunately, many businesses take advantage of this reality, betting that if they cheat large groups of people out of even small amounts, they can maximize their profits with little risk of litigation. Fortunately, the American Legal System has set up the class action procedure, through which an individual can represent hundreds, thousands, and sometimes even millions of similarly situated people, thereby holding companies engaged in such acts of unfair competition responsible for their actions. In order for this system to work, however, society needs not only individuals honorable enough to stand up and speak for others, but also attorneys who are willing to take significant risks and expand vital resources prosecuting such violations.
At Yeroushalmi Law, we are experienced in obtaining relief on behalf of large classes of consumers and other injured parties. We pride ourselves in fighting corporate greed with all of the resources at our disposal to compensate those who have been injured en masse, even if only in relatively small amounts. Consumers should never have to be the pawns in a corporation’s unscrupulous methods of profit maximization. Although maximizing profits may be an admirable endeavor, ordinary consumers should not have to pay the price.
