From its offices in Bridgeport, Danbury, and New Haven, CT, Koskoff Koskoff & Bieder serves clients across New England. Koskoff Koskoff & Bieder CT has extensive experience trying class-action lawsuits, and has been successful in numerous cases against large corporations. Class action lawsuits, which group a number of plaintiffs against one party, have a number of advantages:
1. They enable prosecution of entities that have caused harm that, taken on an individual basis, may not justify litigation, but when considered collectively represents substantial damage.
2. They ensure that compensation is divided equally among plaintiffs. If brought individually, the first cases may leave a corporation bankrupt, and thereby unable to pay further damages.
3. Combining similar claims increases the efficiency of the litigants as well as the courts, because the evidence and testimony only have to be submitted once.
4. Class action rulings can change industry behavior. For example, the mandatory reporting laws requiring doctors to report suspected abuse were not consistently adhered to until a class action lawsuit was filed.
