Consumer Class Action | Consumer Protection | Defective Products
Strauss Troy’s consumer class action trial lawyers play an important role in protecting the public from dishonest, unfair, deceptive or dangerous business practices.
A “class,” represented by Strauss Troy, means having the legal resources to hold heavily “lawyered,” well-funded defendants accountable. Our consumer class-action experience includes recoveries against manufacturers, distributors, retailers, banks, insurance companies and financial service providers, as well as medical device and pharmaceutical manufacturers.
Strauss Troy attorneys have successfully litigated class actions in Ohio, Kentucky and nationwide under state consumer protection statutes that prohibit misleading and deceptive trade practices, common law violations such as breach of contract, unjust enrichment and tort law principles targeting defective products.
