How Much Will Filing a Class-Action Lawsuit Cost?

Full Video Transcript

The exact cost of filing a lawsuit varies with the length and complexity of each case. It takes a significant financial investment to investigate the wrongdoing, use the legal discovery process to obtain evidence, consult with expert witnesses, obtain class-action certification, and fight the case in court. Class-action cases are typically taken on a contingency fee basis, which means that parties to the class action don’t have to pay the attorney unless they’re successful. If they do get you some compensation, then they take a percentage of the settlement. Not every law firm or attorney has the resources to file a class-action lawsuit, it is important to contact a skilled class-action Layer in your area to discuss your options.
