Class Action Litigation
CLASS ACTION LITIGATION
Class action litigation involves multiple parties filing a claim against one or more defendants. There are many different claims that can be filed against a business in a class action lawsuit, including injuries caused by a company’s product, employment rights or consumer fraud.
Some strategies that have been used by Hardin Law to create the best possible outcome include:
- Motion to Dismiss
- Investigation of the Facts
- Burden of Proof
- Challenges to Class Certification
- Settlement Consideration
MOTION TO DISMISS
When class action litigation is brought against a business, it is vital that an experienced attorney reviews the details in the complaint. An attorney could determine that the case has no grounds and move to dismiss.
This is a crucial step to take because there is the potential that certain claims against you can be thrown out which saves you a lot of time and energy.
INVESTIGATION OF THE FACTS
It is important to gather all pertinent information related to the claim in order to successfully defend against class action litigation.
This discovery phase is when an attorney goes through all the alleged facts carefully to devise a strategy after the matter has been analyzed and assessed from both sides.
BURDEN OF PROOF
In class action litigation, the burden of proof falls to the plaintiff. This means it is the plaintiff’s responsibility to prove their claims and if they fail there is a possibility that some claims could be thrown out.
CHALLENGES TO CLASS CERTIFICATION
The legitimacy of the plaintiff’s class certification can often be brought into questions because class definitions are often too broad or indefinite.
If the class defined in the complaint is unidentifiable, then class certification can potentially be removed, speeding up the legal process resulting in less time and money spent on the lawsuit.
SETTLEMENT CONSIDERATION
Once all other legal options have been exhausted, it may be the time to consider the potential for settlement. Settlement outside of a courtroom may be more cost-effective than going through the litigation process.
