Class Actions

If you’ve experienced injury or harm through a defective medical product, taking pharmaceutical drugs, institutional and historical abuse, damage to your property and health due to environmental catastrophes or contamination, or a breach of your privacy, there’s a chance that several others have too. When a group of people have been similarly affected by the actions of others, an efficient and economical method to obtain a remedy is through a class action. Wagners has been representing plaintiffs in class actions in Atlantic Canada and Nationally since 2004. We have a proven track record of success certifying cases to proceed as class actions, and achieving settlements for our clients, while also aiming to ensure the same wrongs don’t happen again.

Wagners is currently advancing several class actions across a broad range of subject matters and on a national basis. If you’re an existing class action client, please visit the dedicated class actions page for the most current update on your action. If you’d like to consult with us about a potential class action, please get in touch with our experienced class action lawyers at Wagners Law Firm serving Halifax, Nova Scotia and Canada.
