New York
Class Action Attorneys Successfully Take on
Fortune 500 Companies

Employee
rights litigation on behalf of employee
groups nationwide
Big business has been
taking advantage of employees throughout
American history. The size difference
between a huge employer and the single
employee often leaves the employee feeling
helpless when faced with a corporation, let
alone a fortune 500 Company. Class action
law suits give individuals the opportunity
to stand together and fight for justice
against businesses that have done them
wrong. These lawsuits are complex and
require a team of experienced,
detail-oriented lawyers. The employment
class action lawyers of
Hepworth, Gershbaum & Roth, PLLC in New
York bring more than 70 combined years of
courtroom litigation experience to the class
action venue and the results are telling.
In cases throughout the country in both
state and federal courts, we have
successfully represented the employee
against the employer no matter the size or
resources of the employer.
What are the
requirements for bringing a class action
lawsuit against an employer?
A class action lawsuit
allows a group of individuals that have been
harmed by the same conduct the opportunity
to get their rights decided in a single
case. Often the damages while not
insignificant to the employee just do not
mean that much to the employer due to the
large size of the company. The class of
collective actions allow the employee to
have a real and significant opportunity to
get justice. Many employment class action or
collective action lawsuits against large
employers are brought in federal court with
plaintiffs from around the country joining
in as part of the lawsuit. A class action
usually has four main elements which allow
class action lawsuit to be certified in
federal court. They are:
-
Numerosity — There must be enough
people involved as to make handling the
cases individually impractical, with the
standard being so numerous that joinder of
all members is impracticable, sometimes as
few as 25 claimants over a course of the
claim period.
-
Commonality — Plaintiff’s
grievances share a common question of law or
of fact.
-
Typicality — When each class
member’s claim arises from the same course
of events and each class member makes
similar legal arguments to prove the
defendant’s liability
-
Adequacy of representation —The
person or persons used to represent the
class must have interests in pursing the
claim and the claims must not be adverse to
the other class members.
What are the
benefits to filing a class action lawsuit as
a group of disadvantaged employees?
Our team of lawyers strongly believe in
the power that a class action lawsuit has,
to bring justice against corporations that
would not otherwise take notice. We have an
extremely high success rate because we bring
experienced litigators, who are willing to
learn the details of each case and litigate
these legal battles of David vs. Goliath.
One lawsuit can bring justice and
compensation for both you and all of the
other people that have been similarly
harmed. Many class action lawsuits are the
only remedy reasonably available, as the
costs of bringing an individual lawsuit
would exceed the damages. However, in a
class action the costs are spread out among
the claimants, this makes the case practical
from a financial perspective. A class
action, in addition to the wages due and
owed also forces the employers to fix their
illegal behavior.
