Stopping Securities Fraud with Class Action Lawsuits
Selling and buying securities depends on the honesty of the corporate activity reports. The company’s value in the market is affected by what the company reports about itself and what others say about the company.
Getting Justice in the Securities Market
A company that does not produce accurate information to investors or prospective investors and fails to mention losses or high risk assets can cause the loss of money. The securities class action lawsuit is a way for the wronged investors to hold the company responsible for their actions. The class action attorney for this type of case will need to have an comprehensive understanding of accounting practices and the securities market to properly represent the class action individuals. This is because securities litigation is complex and it will also take significant resources to investigate the charges and collect evidence.
The securities claims can include:
- Broker Fraud:
- Accounting Fraud:
- Shareholders Derivatives:
Broker fraud is when a stockbroker either pumps up the stocks or makes promises to the investor about the expected return.
Accounting fraud includes the deliberate misleading of regulators and investors about financial matters.
Shareholders derivatives can be a class action lawsuit when there is critical information withheld from the shareholders.
Securities fraud usually involves many investors that are affected and while it is difficult for a single investor to hold the company responsible due to the expense of litigation, the class-action lawsuit is different. The class-action lawsuit joins together many individuals that have been affected by securities fraud and sustained losses.
