Use of class actions for a group claim

If numerous people have similar claims due a wrongful act of another person or entity, then it is possible to consider a class action (group lawsuit).

At Nelligan O'Brien Payne, we have launched a number of creative and unique class actions that have obtained remedies for our clients - which they could not have recovered on their own. Examples include class actions related to food poisoning, employee termination, pension, personal injury, and defective product, to name a few.

From the perspective of the individual citizen, the class action has become the most powerful vehicle to effect social change. It is the great leveler between you and any large organization, be it a government or corporation. In the past, when people have suffered a loss at the hands of these entities, the economic disparity has rendered them practically powerless in the battle to obtain a remedy. Now, there is power in numbers.
