Class Action
Lancaster Class Action Lawsuit Attorneys – Serving Palmdale, Santa Clarita, and Other Areas
A class action lawsuit is usually filed by a group of people who have all been injured by the same company or product. In order for a lawsuit to be considered a class action, a court has to determine that the number of plaintiffs is large enough to make a consolidated group proceeding more efficient than trying each case individually. Also, all of the plaintiffs must have been affected in a relatively similar manner. This kind of case enables individuals to take on large corporations, who often employ teams of lawyers in their defense. At the R. Rex Parris Law Firm in Lancaster, our class action lawsuit attorneys have been helping Santa Clarita and Palmdale victims for more than 20 years. We have experience with a broad range of different class action cases, and we can help ensure that victims gain compensation for their suffering. Some of the most common grounds for class action lawsuits are:
Some products, as a result of poor manufacturing or an unsafe design, may hurt the user; although many have warning labels, some dangerous products do not. Product liability cases can involve many different kinds of products, from children’s toys to things like lawnmowers or cleaning products. Our Lancaster practice can file a class action lawsuit as our attorneys walk the victims through this complicated process.
Automotive defects can create incredibly dangerous situations for drivers, causing accidents, injuries, and even deaths.

The attorneys from our firm near Santa Clarita and Palmdale can answer any questions you may have and assist you in gaining compensation for yourself or your loved ones.
Sometimes insurance companies delay or refuse payment on valid claims or fail to defend lawsuits brought against their clients adequately. When this occurs, the insurance company is said to have acted in bad faith, and legal action may be required for the victim to obtain what he or she is owed. The R. Rex Parris Law Firm has taken many of these cases, and our practice has achieved great success in the courtroom. Insurance claims can be used as grounds for class action cases, if the lawsuit is filed on behalf of a number of victims of the same insurance company, or suits involving them can be filed on an individual basis.
As they race to put dozens of new drugs on the market every year, pharmaceutical companies sometimes rush new products onto the market without thorough testing. These drugs can have dangerous and even fatal side effects, and a class action lawsuit may be required to obtain compensation.
Some companies may not pay their employees for the hours they work or try to avoid paying for hours worked overtime. Companies sometimes also try to withhold benefits. The R. Rex Parris Law Firm in Lancaster can help workers file a class action lawsuit against a company. Attorneys from our practice can work to resolve disputes and obtain the wages and other benefits that employees are owed.
Every year, hundreds of thousands of Americans are victims of identity theft, scams, and other malicious, illegal practices. If a person or group has defrauded multiple victims, the people harmed can file a class action lawsuit. The attorneys from our office serving Palmdale and Santa Clarita can help victims regain the assets they lost along with, in some cases, compensation for the stress and emotional trauma that consumer fraud often causes.
Unfair Business Practices
By law, employers cannot fire their workers without cause or discriminate against workers based on skin color, religion, age, or other characteristics, and they cannot interfere with efforts to unionize. However, these unscrupulous practices do happen every day. The R. Rex Parris Law Firm can aid workers in filing a class action lawsuit against their company and help ensure that they are treated fairly in the future.
