Protecting the People
Class action lawsuits are a staple of the work we do at Alex Davis Law Office. In many of these cases, companies charge an unfair fee or commit a negligent act that would be difficult to pursue in court by a single person. That’s where Rule 23 comes into play. This is the legal rule governing class actions, and we use this rule to take on everything from train derailments to environmental contamination, Internet marketing scams, video game gambling, defective consumer products, and banks that charge unfair fees.
In some of those cases, the amounts at stake may be so small that separate suits would be impracticable. But when you combine hundreds or even thousands of people together with the same injuries or harms, the class action approach can be a powerful weapon. Here are examples of some of the class actions we’ve worked on over the years
- Class action against cemetery managers in Louisville for burying bodies in the wrong graves (favorable opinion by Kentucky Supreme Court).
- Class action against telephone company for spraying private property with dangerous pesticides.
- Class action against tire company for massive fire that spread particulate matter onto hundreds of nearby homes.
- Class action against major camera maker for defective lens technology.
- Class actions against various banks, video game makers and other entities that charge unfair or hidden fees.
