Class Action

Injured Parties

What do you do when you have been harmed, but no lawyer will take your case because your injury is too small? Call us. Tell us about your case. If a company is hurting lots of people in the same way, the law allows one person to sue on behalf of everyone else who got hurt in something called a class action. Here are some examples of situations that might be right for class treatment:

• Telemarketers keep calling you even though you are on the National Do Not Call List
• A neighboring manufacturing plant’s smokestack billows foul odors which irritate your throat
• A debt collector sues you after the statute of limitations has passed (In WI six years)
• A company lies to you in sales ads about a feature of its product
• A collector of your personal data (e.g. hospital, bank, school, etc.) does not protect it and a hacker steals it
• Your employer stiffs you out of overtime or does not pay for “on call” work
• These are exactly the kinds of cases we want to hear about. If you feel like a company has harmed you and figures you won’t do anything about it, call us. We will evaluate your case and let you know whether you have a claim.

National Class Counsel

At Hansen Reynolds we try cases. But that’s not all we do. We write powerful and persuasive pleadings, briefs and motions. Some of the best class action firms in the country look to us to help with their cases in Wisconsin, Minnesota, Illinois, Iowa, Indiana and Ohio. Our role ranges from providing strategic guidance on local rules and judges to drafting key legal documents, allowing our lead counsel partners to focus on their clients and the broader objectives of the case. Our team has handled a wide range of cases, including environmental litigation, data privacy, robocalls, and violations of the Video Privacy Protection Act.

While Wisconsin’s class action procedures largely align with Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 23, there are critical distinctions that can trip up even the most experienced litigators. Certain procedural steps that are unique to Wisconsin law must be carefully followed. Failing to do so can result in decertification, delays, and challenges from objectors. With our extensive experience in this area, we ensure that these risks are mitigated, helping you avoid costly missteps and keeping your case on track.
