Class Action
States and the Federal Government have consumer protection laws in order to guarantee the average citizen’s rights. Thousands of people in South Carolina are affected each year by businesses that engage in deceitful and deceptive practices. Some common examples of illegal business practices are false advertising, hidden fees, or bait-and-switch selling. These bad-faith business dealings can be rectified through class action lawsuits. These lawsuits gather a group of affected consumers and seek a remedy or relief.
Peter McCoy has the experience and background to take on class action lawsuits and many other types of consumer litigation cases in South Carolina. Attorney Peter McCoy has experience as both a prosecutor and defense attorney. He is a former United State Attorney and a trusted name in Charleston and throughout South Carolina.
What is a Class Action Lawsuit?
A Class Action Lawsuit is when an individual or a certain number of plaintiffs bring forth a lawsuit on behalf of a large number of people, a class. When a judge or court rules on this kind of lawsuit then the settlement is divided amongst the entire class. The members of the group (the class) must all have been affected by the actions of the defendant. Class Action Lawsuits are usually taken as a legal route because if individuals were to sue by themselves the costs would be too high.
Have you been affected by bad-business practices?
Class Action Lawsuits are brought forth when a group of individuals have experienced a similar loss or harm. Often this is at the hand of a company or business which has fraudulent or deceitful practices. Some common types of lawsuits can be related to:
- Faulty or dangerous products
- Telemarketing, robocalls, fraudulent debt-collection
- Environmental damage
- Bad-faith contracts or breach of contract
- Hidden Fees
