The statute of limitations for wage and hour claims varies from state to state. It is best to contact an attorney immediately to ensure you do not miss the window for filing a claim in Utah.
It is illegal for companies to retaliate against workers who file wage and hour or overtime lawsuits in Utah. If you are punished in any way for filing a claim, you may sue the company for further damages. Our attorneys are experts on state and federal labor laws and will protect your interests.
Class action lawsuits allow a large group of people who have experienced harm by a single company or group of companies to collectively hold those entities accountable for their wrongdoings. Companies that engage in illegal or unethical business practices count on the fact that most people won’t bother filing a claim. Signing up for a class action allows you to hold companies accountable for the damages they have caused you and other Americans.
No, in most cases all you have to do is sign up or opt in. Class action lawsuits are pursued by a single plaintiff on behalf of the whole class, or all the people who have the same complaint against the defendants.
Class action lawsuits are a valuable tool that allow individuals to hold large entities accountable for the collective harm they have caused. Many Americans are too intimidated to file a claim when they are cheated out of overtime wages, deceived through manipulative contracts, or lose their car to repossession. Companies count on you to not file a claim, and profit when you don’t.
Signing up to participate in a class action lawsuit is quick and easy. Given our expertise and track record, if our attorneys determine you have the basis for a claim you are likely to win the compensation you deserve. Another positive outcome of class action lawsuits is that companies may receive injunctions to stop deceptive advertising or other illegal practices.
Most states have wage and hour lawsuit time limits; however, the majority of all persons having been denied overtime or back wages will fall within those time limits if they contact an attorney in the near future.
