Ohio Class Action Lawsuit

If you’ve been injured by a product or service, chances are, you’re not the only one that’s been affected. When a large group of people file a joint claim against a party that caused them similar injuries or harm, it is called a class action lawsuit.

Alone, your injuries or damages may not be great enough to file a claim; but combined with hundreds—sometimes thousands of others who have experienced similar issues—they can be a strong force against a large corporation or opponent.

Joining a Class Action Case

You may be eligible for compensation through a class action lawsuit if you have suffered an injury or wrongdoing from:

• a defective product,
• fraudulent service,
• improper charges,
• workplace discrimination,
• or wrongful termination.

Criteria for a Class Action Lawsuit

According to state and federal government regulations, in order for a judge to recognize a class action lawsuit, the case must meet several criteria, some of which include:

• There is an identifiable class—or group of plaintiffs.
• The class must have appointed members to represent their collective grievances.
• There are a large number of plaintiffs, making it impractical to try claims individually.
• The claims of the representatives are typical of the claims in the rest of the class.
• The class’ legal counsel is capable of fairly representing the best interests of all class members.
