Class actions, collective actions, and mass tort claims are the most challenging litigation a company can face. Frequently, these claims involve the risk of statutory damages, treble damages, and attorneys’ fees. Mass tort claims can involve injuries to dozens, hundreds or thousands of people, requiring individualized evaluation in order to defend and resolve. Mass tort claims can also involve administrative or criminal proceedings that impact civil litigation and involve the risk of adverse publicity.
Kiernan Trebach’s attorneys defend companies against class and collective actions asserting a variety of theories of liability, ranging from breach of warranty and consumer fraud to unfair debt collection and wage and hour violations. We have the experience to handle the complex issues that accompany class certification, class settlements and other issues unique to class and collective actions.
We defend companies facing mass tort liability and are familiar with the high degree of risk to the enterprise that such claims present. Whether you are facing a large-scale accident, a release of an environmental contaminant, a deficiency in the delivery of a service, or a wide-scale products liability dispute, Kiernan Trebach can guide you through the process.
