What Is A "Class Action" And Why Is This Case A Class Action?

Cemetery Claims Class Action
Class actions are lawsuits in which a large number of people are making similar claims for common injuries. In most cases, it is more economical for both the courts and the parties to have the common issues resolved in one case, as opposed to a multitude of cases. In this way, the duplication of costs and attorneys' fees is avoided. This case arose out of spacing problems at the Menorah Gardens cemeteries.

What is a Class Action and why would someone bring a Class Action?

Adkins, Kelston & Zavez, P.C.
A class action is a lawsuit brought by an individual or company on behalf of a much larger group of persons with the same or similar problem or injury. A class action is ideal where a person or entity feels (a) he/she/it has been injured, (b) that others may have been injured in the same manner, and (c) bringing an individual law suit may not be practical because it will be too expensive relative to the individuals loss.

Can I settle my case on my own without an attorney?

Frequently Asked Questions| Davis Law Group
However, some claims do not require the assistance of an attorney. Each case is different and depends on its own set of facts. If we believe we can't recover a higher settlement than the insurance company's last offer, or that the attorney fee will leave little money left over for you, we usually will decline to take the case and advise you to settle on your own. We always decline to accept a case if the client is likely to recover as much money without the assistance of an attorney.
