What is the problem?
The Schmidt Firm, PLLC is nationally recognized as a class action law firm. However, the attorneys in our Dietary Supplement Litigation Group are not currently pursuing justice for our clients through a SlimQuick class action lawsuit. Many class actions have already been filed, but these represent plaintiffs with claims of purchasing a defective product based on false advertisements.
Instead, our lawyers are filing individual lawsuits on behalf of women who developed sever side effects. If you had a serious injury, contact our lawyers to learn if you might qualify to join this litigation. We are evaluating claims involving severe injuries, such as:
- Liver damage
- Jaundice (yellow discoloring of skin, whites of the eyes)
- Hepatitis (liver inflammation)
- Liver failure
- Liver transplant
- Rhabdomyolysis
- Kidney failure
- Seizures
- Abnormal heart rhythm (atrial fibrillation)
- Heart problems
About Class Actions
Class action lawsuits are a useful litigation tool when companies advertise products with false or misleading claims. It wouldn’t make financial sense for everyone to file a lawsuit alone, so plaintiffs consolidate their individual claims into a class action and negotiate together. If compensation is awarded, a percentage is paid to lawyers and plaintiffs share the rest.
Why Our Law Firm is Filing Individual Lawsuits as Opposed to a SlimQuick Class Action
For individuals with severe injuries, class actions can have disadvantages. It is not uncommon for members to accept high attorneys’ fees and a “low-ball” settlement. Instead of a class action, our trial attorneys fight to maximize each client’s financial recovery by filing individual lawsuits.
We understand that victims of defective dietary supplements may be facing severe losses to their physical, financial, and emotional health. This is why we always review and evaluate new cases for free. In addition, we typically file individual lawsuits on contingency-fee agreements. This means you pay nothing unless we achieve compensation on your behalf.
