Can I File a Class Action Law Suit

Can I File a Class Action or Civil Law A Suit?

The past horrific tragedies on the gulf have finally been corrected and stopped or have they?  No doubt many have suffered and will continue to suffer damages from this life shattering experience for years to come.  This is a perfect example of an incident that requires a class action civil law suit.  Many people have suffered loss and damages due to the same event. With such a vast amount of claims it makes good sense for all complainants to come together both combining efforts and sheer numbers making a more powerful demand of their civil rights.

1. There are also instances where a group of people suffer small damages from the same source, and they too may file a class action suit as well. 
2. It may also be a case of a group who did not receive services promised or the services may not have been completed. 

1. A large scale civil proceeding usually brought about in product liability case and represents a group of clients who have a shared loss and interest in the case.
2. A class action law suit is a suit which involves a group of people who come together collectively to bring a claim to court. 
3. This is a lawsuit in which the claims and rights of a group of people are decided in one case.

First determine if you qualitfy for participating in a class action law suit.

These types of cases are handled by attorneys who specialize in class action cases.  You will therefore want to find one handling the case you are apart of.  When a product failure occurs you can search for cases under the product name.  Resources connecting you to the right attorneys and or cases can be found at the links provided below.

A class action suit including a group of people who experience the same charges turns a small claim into a huge more notable claim.  It reminds me of the petition effect, one person complaining about something rarely gets a response, but hundreds, thousands or millions of people get a lot of attention and a far more productive reaction.

Your seemingly small and powerless claim against a big company becomes a very powerful movement once a collective group is formed.  Considering this option helps you to bring your possible suit to light in a more effective and productive way for yourself and all others involved making a difference while exercising your rights and the rights of others.  The power of civil rights is in the exercising of those rights, they are quite meaningless if not acted upon!

Class action suits have been brought to my attention via postal service.  You may have received a letter in the mail making you aware of suits that were a result of using a product or service as well as many others which compile a class action suit.  The letter goes on to tell you how you can file your claim and become apart of the action securing your payment for losses. 

While it is possible to find out about such class action suits by doing nothing you can also seek out information to determine if you may be apart of a group filing a civil suit you're not aware of.  The internet has become a great resource for such information and class action suits are another of the many things you can learn about online.  How?  A simple search can provide you with a list of active class action or civil suits.
