Verizon Data Usage Multidistrict Litigation
Goldenberg Schneider, along with Foley Bezek Behl & Curtis, LLP, and Minnillo & Jenkins, Co. LPA, filed the first class action against Verizon for unauthorized $1.99 data usage charges to its customers nationwide. The court recently granted final approval to a settlement reached with Cellco Partnership d/b/a Verizon Wireless resolving plaintiffs’ claims and allegations that Verizon Wireless violated state and federal law by wrongly charging its cellular phone customers for data usage they never accessed or received. As a result of the nationwide settlement and litigation, the class received bill credits and refund checks valued at more than $50 million.
