Multidistrict and Class Action Litigation

Multidistrict and class action cases attract some of the finest lawyers practicing today.  Because the defendants are often large national or multinational corporations with nearly limitless resources, they also involve some of the nation’s largest and most powerful law firms.  Not every firm has the resources and expertise to successfully prosecute these cases.  Grossman Roth does.

Class action cases run the gamut from antitrust violations and fraudulent or deceptive trade practices to breaches of contract, securities fraud, and unlawful or unfair employment practices.  What unites these cases is that they all involve large numbers of victims, who have often suffered relatively small individual damages, but from whom a large corporation has in the aggregate taken millions or even billions of dollars in the name of ever greater profits.

Changes in federal law, including the Class Action Procedures Act (CAFA), mean that many class actions are now either brought in or removed to federal court.  The attorneys at Grossman Roth, P.A., have deep experience in the complexities of multidistrict and class action litigation and decades of experience before federal judges in the Southern District of Florida and around the country.  We also have a proven record of success in litigating these cases in the trial court and defending our results on appeal, including:

• A $410 million settlement on behalf of Bank of America individual account holders who suffered additional overdraft fees as a result of the bank’s policy of re-sequencing debit transactions from highest to lowest.

• A $39 million settlement on behalf of a class of Florida property owners assessed unlawful windstorm deductibles by Lloyds of London.

• A $36 million settlement on behalf of Union Bank individual account holders who suffered additional overdraft fees as a result of the bank’s policy of re-sequencing debit transactions from highest to lowest.

• A $19 million jury verdict on behalf of residents of Palm Beach County, Florida, whose citrus trees were cut down by the state as part of its program directed toward the elimination of citrus canker.

•  A $5 million jury verdict in Nevada federal court against Vision Airlines to recover unpaid hazard pay on behalf of the pilots and flight attendants who operated Vision’s Air Bridge into the war zones in Iraq and Afghanistan.
