Consumer Class Actions
Under the law, corporations and other business entities are responsible for products and services they provide to consumers. If a company uses deceptive business practices, such as misleading advertising and bait and switch schemes, or a product does not perform as promised or is defective, consumers are entitled to seek compensation for any harm they may have suffered as a result. In California, consumers may seek compensation for actual damages, restitution of property, punitive damages and any other relief deemed appropriate by the court.
There are many federal and state laws that govern the responsibility suppliers have to their consumers. These laws are largely enforced by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and state agencies like the California Department of Consumer Affairs. Despite their best efforts, these government agencies are not able to keep track of every business and its practices. For this reason, some corporations are still able to take advantage of the public. When a corporation’s intentional or negligent misconduct results in damages to consumers, consumers may be able to sue the company for those damages. A competent attorney can advise you on the best course of action for your situation.
