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.

Gluckstein Lawyers and Wagners Law Firm have jointly issued a proposed class action lawsuit against a number of automobile insurance companies for systematically underpaying consumers with total loss accident claims. Our lawsuit alleges that these insurers relied on one of two companies—Mitchell International, Inc. and Audatex (also known as Solera)—to provide valuation reports for the Actual Cash Values (“ACVs”) of total loss accident vehicles. These reports included arbitrary and illegal charges that diminished the valuations of total loss vehicles, lowering insurers’ payouts to consumers with total loss accident claims. In the Mitchell reports, these charges were called “Projected Sold Adjustments,” while in the Audatex reports they were called “Typical Negotiation Adjustments.”
