Class Actions

The lawyers at Butler, Wooten & Fryhofer are committed to protecting the rights of consumers and small businesses, even when the harm to each individual or business may be small. When wrongful conduct impacts many, a class action may be the best way to address that wrong. Our lawyers have been involved in class actions against polluters, insurance companies, and even the government. Our lawyers are also currently litigating several class actions involving consumers' rights in the face of credit insurance fraud.

With the help of computer experts, we are at the cutting edge of using a Defendant's own records to prove that class certification is appropriate and that the class is entitled to relief. This approach is especially effective in cases involving the breach of a form contract. In every contract class action we pursue, our goal is to attempt to recover for every harmed class member the full measure of the benefit that person is due under the contract. If you have been harmed by a company that is treating others the same way, particularly through the breach of a form contract, please contact us.

Most of our class action cases are still pending. Our class action cases which have already been resolved include the groundbreaking settlement of McBride v. Life of Virginia and the credit insurance fraud class actions of Carter v. North Central Life Insurance Company in the District of New Hampshire, and Perkins v. American National Insurance Company in the Middle District of Georgia.
