Burdine Wynne’s lawyers have handled numerous national class actions, including consumer class actions involving insurance, deceptive trade practices, fraud, breach of contract, RICO, and Telephone Consumer Protection Act claims.
Class actions typically involve many complicated issues of law and require that class counsel be approved by the court. Wynne & Wynne has been approved as class counsel and is dedicated to pursing class actions to help those who have suffered damages even though the claims may not be, independently, substantial enough to warrant an individual lawsuit.
If you have a complaint against a company that defrauded you or broke its promises to you on even a small dollar amount, that may form the basis of a class action. Class representatives can reover damages, sound the alarm on fraudulent practices against consumers, and put an end to abusive business practices.
Our class action attorneys most recently successfully resolved claims for violations of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, also known as the TCPA, which prohibits unauthorized calls and texts to your cellular phone if the caller uses predictive dialers or prerecorded messages. The TCPA also prohibits junk faxes. The statute acknowledges that intrusive and abusive telemarketers increase consumer costs, are harassing, and invade privacy. Thus, the TCPA entitles people who experience these prohibited marketing tactics to recover statutory penalties for each violation.
In addition to prohibitions on junk faxes and do-not-call violations, the TCPA expressly prohibits automated, artificial, or prerecorded calls or text messages “to any telephone number assigned to a paging service, cellular telephone service, specialized mobile radio service, or other common carrier service, or any service for which the called party is charged.” 47 U.S.C. 227(b)(1)(A)(iii). You may be entitled to act as a class representative and recover damages if you have received an advertisement on your cell phone, spam text message, or a junk fax. Help stop unscrupulous telemarketers and the companies that hire them from routinely violating the TCPA and your rights.
If you have received a prerecorded advertisement or text message on your cell phone without your prior consent, you may be entitled to statutory damages.
