Gordon & Doner, P.A. is an experienced class action law firm. Class action lawsuits are generally defined as groups of people suffering similar harm or losses caused by dangerous prescription drugs and defective products. The purpose of a class action is to secure a judicial remedy that not only eliminates a wrong committed against an individual, and compensates him or her for the effects of that wrong, but that also provides such remedies for everyone else in a definable class who has suffered as a result of the same wrong.
Have You or a Loved One Been Injured Due to:
- AVAIRA Toric Soft Contact Lenses and Cornea Damage
- Listeria Poisoning in Cantaloupe
- Transvaginal Mesh
- Actos and Bladder Cancer
- Zoloft Birth Defects
- Fosamax Femur Fractures
- DePuy Hip Replacement
- Byetta Diabetes Medicine
- Defective Chinese Drywall
- Yaz and Yazmin
It is up to the court to approve the definition of the class. This stage of the lawsuit is called “class certification.” Any person or entity that meets the definition approved by the court is automatically a member of the class in the lawsuit, but any class member is normally always given a chance to opt out (decline to be considered a member of the class) if he or she wants to pursue another remedy or no remedy. However, in order to be eligible to receive any benefit, relief or monetary recovery that a court may eventually order as a result of the lawsuit, class members must not opt out and they must submit a claim to the law firm that is representing the class or to a claims administrator approved by the court.
