About Class-Action Personal Injury Lawsuits in North Carolina

When you suffer a personal injury, it’s hard to think about anyone else during your recovery. But sometimes, the product or location that caused your injury has affected others and is a part of a more significant problem.

When multiple people have suffered the same injury due to the same issue, your best legal option may be a class-action lawsuit to help win monetary damages.

How Do Class-Action Personal Injury Lawsuits Work In North Carolina?

When several people are affected by the same harmful or unlawful action, these victims can form a “class” and take legal action against the wrong-doer. Sometimes a class of plaintiffs can be a dozen people, other times, it can be thousands, it depends on if specific procedural requirements are met.

Class-action lawsuits exist to help the court rectify multiple legal cases based on the same problem and eliminate repetitive cases.

A single law firm would represent the entire class and provide equal representation to them all, with a few being the “face” of the case. However, many participants won’t have to do anything, and plaintiffs may opt-out of the lawsuit.

What Are The Advantages Of A Class-Action Lawsuit?

Plaintiffs can gain advantages from a class-action lawsuit because the defendant may feel more motivated to settle, in fear of going bankrupt from settling dozens of individual cases.

When plaintiffs join a class, they also benefit from pooling resources. The single law firm representing the class will have access to all the personal injuries, recruit experts to testify, and craft a cohesive case.

Exceptional Legal Representation & True Professional, Genuine Individual

I first met Allen after he was recommended to me by a friend, and I couldn't be happier with the service that he provided. He demonstrated a unique attention to detail in my case, as well as expressed a genuine interest in me as a person. Through a great deal of hard work, Allen was able to appeal my case and get all of my charges dismissed. I couldn't be more grateful for him and his assistant, Sherry, for their legal and personal support during such a difficult time. Hiring Allen was the greatest decision I've ever made, and I would recommend Allen to anyone seeking exceptional legal representation.
