If you believe you and others in your situation have a viable claim against a large company, you may wish to start a class action lawsuit if there isn’t one already in place. Normally, the way to start a class action lawsuit is by choosing a class action attorney.
When choosing a class action attorney, probably the biggest factor you should take into consideration is his or her experience in handling personal injury lawsuits. To be successful, class action lawsuits normally require experience and expertise with handling class actions. The attorney will help file the necessary paperwork, proving that there is a class, deciding where to file the suit, and choosing the best member of the class to represent the class.
In addition to looking for an attorney with experience in personal injury lawsuits, you should consider a couple of other factors. A big one is the attorney’s fees. You should understand your legal costs up front, and your attorney should be transparent in disclosing those fees. Normally, your lawsuit will be handled on a contingency basis, meaning that the attorney will take a percentage of the recovery off the top if your lawsuit is successful. Finally, you should choose an attorney with whom you are compatible. Find an attorney who is accessible to you, who you feel comfortable talking with, and who can answer your questions.
