Joining a class action lawsuit can be intimidating and overwhelming.  Class action lawsuits typically involve disputes over fine print and the subtleties of contract law.  Plaintiffs in these lawsuits are facing off against large corporations. The lawsuits are also often massive in scope. To determine if you have a class action case or should join a class action lawsuit, you need an experienced class action attorney at your side. The attorneys at Ohio Personal Injury Lawyers have successfully represented plaintiffs in the following class action lawsuits:

Credit Report and Fair Credit Reporting Act Claims

• Blasi v. Equifax, et al.: Consumers claimed that Equifax violated the Fair Credit Reporting Act by releasing credit reports without authorization.

Excessive Fees or Charges to Consumers

• McCartney v. Camcar, et al.: Consumers claimed that Ohio towing companies violated towing regulations by charging an illegal “administrative” fee. The court certified the class and the settlement resulted in the return of illegally collected fees to class members.

Online Auction Fraud and Internet Scams
