Class action refers to a legal term for a lawsuit filed by one or more plaintiffs on behalf of a larger group who have suffered similar harm. It encompasses a wide range of situations where individuals experience harm due to the negligence or intentional actions of a company or organization. Common types of class action cases include data breaches, BIPAA violations, VPPA infringements, wage and hour disputes, workplace harassment, and disability discrimination.
The goal of a class action lawsuit is to provide compensation for the affected group, covering damages such as financial losses, emotional distress, and other related costs. Class action claims require proving that the defendant’s actions caused widespread harm, making it crucial to gather substantial evidence and often necessitating the unique skill set of an experienced class action lawyer.
Class action lawsuits come in various forms. The following are the types of class action cases Law Experts handles:

Victims of workplace harassment may experience significant emotional and psychological distress, leading to reduced job satisfaction and productivity. Legal avenues are available to help these individuals seek justice and compensation for their suffering. Class action lawsuits for workplace harassment aim to hold employers accountable and provide financial relief for affected employees, fostering a safer and more respectful work environment for everyone.
