If you suffered the same type of injury for the same reason as many others, discuss a possible class action with the experienced legal team at Feldman Shepherd Wohlgelernter Tanner Weinstock Dodig. We can explore your best options.
When companies violate public trust, the damage is rarely limited to a single person. Whether it’s a defective product, deceptive billing practice, or corporate data breach, these actions often harm thousands—sometimes millions—of people. Yet, few individuals have the resources or stamina to take on a major corporation alone.
Class actions level the playing field. They empower everyday consumers, patients, employees, and investors to hold powerful institutions accountable. By pooling resources and uniting as a single group, the class can demand systemic change and meaningful compensation—something that would be out of reach for many if pursued individually.
Class action lawsuits don’t just result in financial recovery. They often force policy shifts, corporate reform, and greater transparency. In that way, these cases have a ripple effect, protecting not just those directly harmed but also future consumers and communities.
Class actions are rarely simple. The road from identifying misconduct to securing a settlement or verdict involves a detailed legal process. This includes moving the court to certify the class—a formal approval that the plaintiffs share common legal and factual issues. This step is critical and often hard-fought.
At Feldman Shepherd, our Philadelphia class action attorneys understand what it takes to get a class certified. We gather evidence, consult with economists, industry specialists, and statisticians, and build a compelling narrative that shows the common harm experienced by all members.
We also manage the details of class notification, administration, and communication, making sure every eligible person understands their rights and has the opportunity to participate.
Many people don’t realize they’ve been affected by a company’s misconduct until someone else comes forward to report it. That’s often how class actions begin—one person speaks out, and others suddenly recognize a pattern they thought was unique to them.
You’ll typically receive a court-approved notice in the mail or by email if you’re part of a certified class. If you believe you were affected but haven’t received a notice, a Feldman Shepherd Philadelphia class action attorney can help determine your eligibility.
Nothing upfront. Class action attorneys work on a contingency basis, meaning they only receive payment if the case is successful. Legal fees come from the settlement or award, not out of your pocket.
Yes, but there are pros and cons. If your damages are substantial and unique, filing an individual claim might be a better option. However, joining a class action can offer the benefit of shared costs and collective strength.
The length of your case will depend on its complexity. It could be months or years before it ends. However, class members typically don’t need to be involved in the day-to-day legal process unless they’re a named plaintiff.
If a settlement or verdict is reached, eligible class members will receive notice with instructions on how to claim their share of the recovery. In some cases, this happens automatically; in others, you may need to submit documentation.
