Insurance Class Actions

The firm's class action work is a natural evolution for the attorneys at the firm, who have dedicated their careers to helping businesses and individuals in their quest against large corporations, such as the powerful insurance companies.  When Quadrino Schwartz finds wrongdoing that is affecting thousands of people, the firm will investigate and often responds by prosecuting a class action lawsuit. 

The firm's class action success in preserving emails and other evidence has been featured in articles and at seminars throughout the country.  Quadrino Schwartz took the lead in recognizing that, in today's digital world, special steps should be taken by class action firms to secure digital evidence that could make the difference in winning a class action case.

Quadrino Schwartz has obtained successes in protecting the rights of thousands of individuals in a number of pending class actions.  The firm spearheaded the nation's first class action against a disability insurer that had been engaging in widespread illegality for years.  The Quadrino Schwartz litigation team on that case acted quickly to obtain the court's involvement in the preservation effort of critical email evidence.  When the court's order was violated, the team fought a cutting edge battle to commence an investigation and formulate steps to seize other evidence to protect the rights of proposed class members.  The Quadirno Schwartz team also conducted a successful trial, in federal court, to expose the wrongdoing and assist the court in uncovering how thousands of emails had been destroyed.  In other cases, the firm has continued its leadership role on the issue of evidence preservation.

The work of Quadrino Schwartz in the disability insurance arena was influential with state regulators, who built upon the firm's successes and fought for the type of industry reforms delineated in the class action initiated by Quadrino Schwartz.

The firm is also actively pursuing several class actions against some of the nation's largest automobile insurers.  These cases have been filed to stop widespread abuses by many insurers who, in their effort to save money, have victimized medical providers.  In the field of health insurance, thousands of claims are improperly denied and Quadrino Schwartz is working to correct those abuses as well.
