Converting Consumer Protection Claims Into Class Action Lawsuits
When you come to us to pursue a consumer protection claim, we will thoroughly review the issue to determine how many other people have been impacted. Frequently, we find that issues affecting one consumer also impact many others. If this is the case, we can file a consumer class action lawsuit to hold the company or business liable for its wrongdoing.
We build strong class action lawsuits designed to secure compensation for every individual impacted by the wrongdoing of the business. For example, Caddell & Chapman was co-lead counsel in the largest consumer property damage case in history, in which over $1.2 billion (total attorneys’ fees: $42,230,000; litigation expenses: $536,000) was recovered from Shell and Celanese. Beginning in the late 1970s, Shell Oil worked with Celanese and DuPont to develop and market a polybutylene plumbing (PB) system. The pipes were made of polybutylene, a resin by-product of a Shell oil-refining process, and the fittings were developed and manufactured by Celanese and DuPont. The systems were marketed to the residential home market. The three companies claimed the PB systems would last the expected lifetime of most buildings, but the products were actually likely to degrade or corrode and ultimately fail when exposed to chemicals found in drinking water.
