Minnesota Class Action Case Process
1
Case Evaluation
We thoroughly investigate potential class actions, analyzing patterns of misconduct, identifying affected individuals, and determining if the case meets the legal requirements for class certification.
2
Class Certification
We petition the court to certify the class, demonstrating that the group meets requirements for numerosity, commonality, typicality, and adequate representation to proceed as a class action.
3
Discovery & Case Building
We conduct extensive discovery, often reviewing millions of documents, taking depositions, and consulting with experts to build a compelling case against the defendant.
4
Settlement Negotiations
We negotiate with defendants to secure fair compensation and meaningful changes in corporate practices, always with the goal of maximizing benefits for all class members.
5
Trial & Distribution
If a fair settlement cannot be reached, we’re prepared to take the case to trial. After resolution, we oversee the fair distribution of compensation to all eligible class members.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I qualify for a class action lawsuit?
You may qualify for a class action if you’ve suffered harm similar to a large group of other people due to the same product, service, or corporate misconduct. Common examples include defective products, false advertising, privacy violations, employment discrimination, or securities fraud. Our attorneys can evaluate your situation and determine if you might be part of an existing class action or if your case warrants starting a new one.
What does it cost to participate in a class action?
Class members typically pay nothing out of pocket to participate in a class action lawsuit. Attorneys’ fees are usually paid from the settlement or verdict amount as approved by the court, often as a percentage of the recovery. This arrangement allows individuals to pursue justice against powerful corporations without financial risk.
What's the difference between a class action and a mass tort?
While both involve multiple plaintiffs, class actions treat all class members as one plaintiff with identical or very similar damages. Mass torts recognize that each plaintiff has unique damages, even if caused by the same product or action. Class actions typically result in equal compensation for all class members, while mass torts allow for individualized damage assessments and compensation based on specific harm suffered.
How long do class action lawsuits take to resolve?
Class actions typically take 2-5 years to resolve, though complex cases can take longer. The process includes investigation, class certification, discovery, potential settlement negotiations, possible trial, appeals, and finally the claims administration process. While this timeline may seem long, it often represents the most efficient path to justice for large groups of affected individuals.
