Insurance companies that misrepresent policies, do not pay valid claims, deny coverage to classes of individuals, fail to make prompt investigations or payments are all vulnerable to class action lawsuits.

Medical Devices

Medical devices that malfunction cause serious injury or death and the manufacturers of these devices are liable to the group of people and their families who suffer because of the defect of the device.

Product Liability/Personal Injury

Product liability and personal injury class action lawsuits are generally brought when a defective product, unreasonably dangerous product, unsafe environments or negligent practices kill or seriously harm and injure people.

Pharmaceutical Litigation

Pharmaceutical liability claims of prescription and over-the-counter medications are brought when drugs that are intended to help people causes side effects, injuries, serious harm or sometimes death in a large group of people. This can occur because clinical trials were not large enough to determine increased risks, when drugs are prescribed to the wrong patients or when drugs are regularly co-prescribed with other drugs and cause adverse reactions.

Securities Class Actions

Securities class actions are typically brought on behalf of a group of investors who have been injured as a result of a company's improper conduct, such as misstating earnings, concealing or misrepresenting risks, or otherwise engaging in activity detrimental to the company. Other securities actions are brought as direct result of a financial advisor or broker's, or group of advisors, repeated misrepresentation, negligence, dishonesty or fraud.

Additionally, a variety of other industry class action lawsuits exist depending on the type of injury a group has suffered from because of another. A law firm that handles these types of cases can provide the guidance necessary to proceed with a class action lawsuit. Most fees are paid by the class action settlement.
