Alabama Class Actions

Representing the injured, the wronged and their families

A class action is brought by one or more people on behalf of themselves and "all others in a similar situation." The end goal of a class action is to obtain a solution to the problem from a judge, in addition to compensation for all individuals who have suffered as a result of the wrong committed.

Examples of class action lawsuits include cases filed against the manufacturers of Agent Orange, asbestos, tobacco giants, and breast implants. Cory Watson has handled class action suits involving contaminated gasoline that was sold the southern states. Cory Watson also handled Dexcool cases, which involve over thirty-four million vehicles sold by General Motors containing Dexcool, which is reported to corrode, rust, and clog radiators, in addition to eroding aluminum cylinder heads, and more. Additionally, Cory Watson has handled class action cases tax shelters. Many investors who paid millions in fees and transaction costs are now under the scrutiny of the IRS. Not only have they lost the money they paid to the defrauders, but they also are faced with IRS audits and potentially will owe back taxes, interest, and penalties. Our tax shelter litigation team is actively engaged in seeking compensation for defrauded investors.
