It has come to our attention a potential exists for a class action arising from a right to an adequate education , training and to protection . Such an action would include but would not be limited to negligent omission and a failure to exercise due care and diligence . Damages calculated would be a multiple of future earning potential loss of amenity and a reasonable expectation of quality of life .

There are 4 requirements to proceed with a class action.

  • 1. Numerosity - enough plaintiffs to make class action an efficient way to handle the claim.
  • 2. Commonality - common issues of fact and law for each claimant
  • 3. Adequacy of Class Rep - the person who is the class representative needs to have claims that are the same as the class members and that they are capable of serving as the representative.
  • 4. Adequacy of Counsel - that the law firm representing the class has sufficient skill and resources to represent the class.

    A certified class action suit is one brought on behalf of a large group of people as plaintiffs who have suffered some similar harm from the same actions of the defendant or defendants .

    What happens to my registration?

    If you have registered for a pending class action, your information is forwarded to one of the law firms handling the case. In most cases, your registration is not a requirement to be a part of a pending class action, as you are automatically part of the case if you fit the class description, and must "opt-out" if you do not want to participate. Submitting a registration on this site does not imply communication with an attorney handling a pending class action.

    Please note: if the information you fill in on the form for a pending class action does not match the description of the class, it will not be forwarded to the law firm handling that particular action. We will, however try to find a lawyer to review your complaint.

    If you are registering a complaint for a possible class action or an individual case, your registration may be forwarded to one or more attorneys. An attorney will contact you only if they are able to pursue your case, or if they need additional information.

    Please note: there is no attorney-client confidentiality implied when you submit a registration to [Source LawyersandSettlements.com]
