  5. Benjamin Whitley Writes Article for Boom! Magazine™: “What Is a Class Action?”

Benjamin Whitley Writes Article for Boom! Magazine™: “What Is a Class Action?”

The Whitley Law Firm is pleased to announce that our very own Attorney Benjamin Whitley has written an article that addresses a common legal question, an article that is to be published in an upcoming edition of Boom! Magazine™. This is a lifestyle magazine that reaches more than 80,000 readers in North Carolina, helping readers to “Live Smart, Live Well, and Live Large”. Benjamin Whitley’s legal experience and expertise has been trusted to provide answers to this wide readership.

Attorney Whitley’s article answers the question, “What is a class action?” He discusses how a class action lawsuit is distinguished from a mass tort. In short, a mass tort claim is filed by an individual, and the result will only affect that one individual. In a class action lawsuit, a group files the claim, and the result affects everyone in that group.

Some people may be surprised by some of the cases that are mass torts, and not in fact class action lawsuits. These mass tort cases include the following types of claims that can be filed against a manufacturer for a dangerously defective product:

  • Bladder sling claims
  • Lipitor® claims
  • Metal hip implant claims
  • Transvaginal mesh claims

The Whitley Advantage isn’t just one thing – it’s everything.
