If you suspect any potential infringement of your rights, it is well worth your time to consult with Belal for a complimentary case assessment.
Class Action Lawsuit Defined
A class action lawsuit allows a group of individuals who have been harmed from a common defendant to collectively sue. This common defendant could be a person, a company, etc. Rather than pursuing separate lawsuits, plaintiffs consolidate their claims into a single case.
A typical class-action lawsuit includes multiple plaintiffs, common facts, and a joint injury or cause characteristic of the plaintiff group.
So, say that a company made a product that caused many people to suffer injuries. As they had a common set of facts and injuries (all from the defective product) they may be good candidates for a class action lawsuit.
We understand this can become complicated. An experienced attorney can guide you through the process.
Who Can Class Action Attorneys Represent?
Class action attorneys can advocate for individuals who have faced similar injuries from companies or organizations. As you might imagine, this can include a large number of people.
Suitable clients range from workers denied compensation for job-related expenses, people harmed by defective products, employees denied breaks or overtime, victims of misleading business practices, abusive/deceptive billing practices, identity theft, and much more
If you think you’re among those harmed by a certain company or organization, an experienced class action attorney’s consultation is crucial.
Is Joining a Class Action Worth It?
Power resides in unity. While individually pursuing a lawsuit may not be feasible or seemingly worth it, a class action including thousands nationwide seeking compensation for similar injustices can not just succeed but provide every plaintiff with the compensation they deserve.
Class-action lawsuits not only provide compensation but also hold unethical businesses accountable while protecting individuals and their families.
When a corporation indulges in practices that harm people and communities, it becomes vital to collectively challenge their actions. Class action suits can trigger systemic change, compelling companies to reassess their policies, ensuring improved practices, and safeguarding the rights of consumers, employees, and the wider public.
If nothing else, it’s easier for corporations to bully an individual in a one-on-one confrontation. It can be much tougher to ignore a united front seeking justice.

Common Types of Class Action Cases: Data Breach
Data breaches often lead to collective legal action, with numerous victims banding together in class action lawsuits against the responsible party. When you give your data to a company, you expect that they’ll be able to protect it. If they can’t, something should be done.
High-profile cases involving companies like Equifax, Anthem, Marriott, Home Depot, andTarget, are just some recent examples.
Given the widespread impact of data breaches, individual victims stand to benefit from joining forces in legal proceedings. At our firm, led by attorney Belal and his team, we specialize in representing clients in such cases, ensuring they receive rightful compensation.
Product Defect
Companies manufacturing consumer goods have what are called “duties of care.” These duties mandate that products must be both safe and effective, though perfection isn’t the standard. Instead, companies are expected to exercise reasonable prudence in their production processes. Failing to uphold this duty, and causing harm to consumers as a result, can render them liable for damages.
In California, proving defective product liability requires demonstrating that you were harmed by a product manufactured, distributed, or sold by the defendant.
Moreover, the product itself must exhibit defects in design, manufacturing, or warnings/instructions regarding safety hazards. If you suspect that you or a loved one has suffered harm due to a product defect.
You don’t need to know that you’re part of a class action or anything like that when you come to Belal. Reach out if you may have been a victim of a defective product and Belal will take care of the rest.
What are Some Other Common Types of Class Actions?
Every case is different. That said, there are some kinds of class action lawsuits that Belal and the team see more often than others.
For example, many class action lawsuits involve false advertising, consumer fraud, and the like. A company can’t intentionally mislead the consumer.
Another common type of class action involves broken contracts. Companies make contracts with consumers and, when those are violated, consumers deserve to receive compensation.
