Charles Stam

As a trial attorney with Zehl & Associates, Charles Maurice Stam represents clients who’ve been involved in catastrophic accidents. Beyond the speaking skills required of a trial attorney, Charles M Stam often researches and writes as part of his job. The aforementioned skills are ideal for complex litigation cases, such as class-action lawsuits. You must meet several requirements to file a class-action lawsuit. Class action lawsuits are filed on behalf of a group of people who’ve experienced financial or physical harm caused by a singular party or event. Generally speaking, you’ll need to gather at least 12 people who experienced similar harm to yours to file a class-action lawsuit. An experienced attorney may help you find additional members of a class action. However, you will need to file suit as an individual if you cannot gather a large enough group. Despite this, it only takes one person to file the class action. There are also no restrictions on who can file the suit. The person who files the class action lawsuit typically acts as the representative for the other people involved. However, you may be prevented from filing a class action if your employer had you sign an arbitration clause before working with them. Consult an attorney to learn if you’re subject to one of these clauses and if it will prevent you from filing.
