Mizrahi Kroub has successfully litigated large class-action lawsuits against some of the wealthiest corporations in the United States and recovered billions on behalf of its clients.
A class action lawsuit takes place when a group of people with similar or the same types of injuries caused by a product or action sue the manufacturer or business as a group. These lawsuits are filed when injuries have occurred because of defective products include:
Oftentimes, class action lawsuits involve injuries that aren’t severe, but have happened to a large group of people. If the number of people affected by the product or conduct is high, it’s hard for each individual to file a personal lawsuit and because of this, a group lawsuit might begin. Additionally, members of a group lawsuit can appoint a “representative plaintiff” who represents them.
Class actions bring together individuals that have been harmed by a company or corporation. Some of these class action proceedings can include:
If you’ve been affected by these violations you might be able to seek justice for the injuries that the product, company, or corporation has caused.
Class actions require more work than typical civil lawsuits and seek to ensure that if you’ve been injured you receive compensation. If your rights have been violated you might receive a Notice of Class Action Lawsuit, which means that you’ve already been included in a lawsuit. Additionally, you'll most likely receive a Notice of Settlement of a Class Action if the case is settled at which point you’ll be proportioned out the sum of compensation recovered in the lawsuit.

The goal of antitrust laws is to protect trade and commerce from restraints, monopolies, and fixed pricing and is primarily governed by the Sherman Act, the Clayton Act, and the Federal Trade Commission. The purpose of antitrust laws is to prohibit unlawful mergers and business practices and protect the competition process for your overall benefit. Ultimately, this keeps operations effective, prices low, and quality high.
Violations of antitrust law include conspiracy in restraint of trade and any sort of monopolization. However, this isn’t as straightforward as it might seem since some agreements between two entities trying to partner in trade might be considered lawful under antitrust laws. Violations of antitrust laws include:
Most antitrust issues arise when large companies are about to merge since they are often in the same industry. Their coming together might involve unfair business tactics or outcomes.

Commodities manipulation occurs in various ways, and the Commodity Exchange Act (CEA) has been put in place to prohibit the manipulation of prices, commodities, and potential contracts. However, that does not mean that commodity manipulation doesn’t still occur. Some forms of manipulation are:
Since the Commodity Exchange Act was enacted to regulate commodities and futures trading in the United States, it’s mainly responsible for regulating agriculture, global markets, energy, technology, and environmental markets. There are many ways the Commodity Exchange Act can be violated:
If you want to claim damages due to violations of the Commodity Exchange Act, you could initiate reparation proceedings. During this process, you’ll acknowledge and address any wrongdoings you suspect have occurred in violation of the CEA. You could be eligible for compensation if your consumer rights have been violated under the Commodity Exchange Act.
If you’ve been negatively affected by commodities manipulation, the last thing you want to do is face going to trial alone or at all. With Mizrahi Kroub, you can rest assured knowing that you’ll rarely be asked to go to trial and will be kept out of the nitty gritty of resolving your case.
Biometric privacy refers to the right of individuals to have their unique biological data protected from unauthorized collection, storage, use, or sharing. Biometrics include measurements based on physical or behavioral characteristics such as fingerprints, voice recordings, facial patterns, iris/retina scans, hand geometry, vein patterns, gait, and more.
With the expansion of biometric data usage in areas like surveillance, marketing, and device security, concerns over biometric privacy are growing.
Illinois has no comprehensive biometric privacy law yet, but violations could possibly occur under other statutes. For example, unauthorized selling of biometric data could violate privacy laws, while improper data sharing could constitute a breach of contract. Some potential violations include:
If any organization in Illinois engages in these types of activities without permission, they could be at risk of a biometric privacy violation.
If you suspect you are a victim of a biometric privacy violation in Illinois, first gather evidence and record all unauthorized collection or use of your biometric data. Consult with a biometric privacy attorney to understand your rights and options. Possible actions include:
