What Is an Antitrust Class Action?
Antitrust class actions are lawsuits filed against companies that illegally colluded to eliminate competition, fix prices, rig bids, or monopolize markets. When businesses conspire to overcharge consumers or other businesses, those who paid inflated prices can seek compensation through a class action.
Major antitrust settlements have come from financial services (banks manipulating interest rates like LIBOR), pharmaceutical companies (generic drug price-fixing cartels), technology companies (no-hire agreements that suppressed employee wages), and commodity markets (agricultural product price manipulation).
Who Qualifies for Antitrust Settlements?
Direct purchasers (businesses that bought directly from the price-fixers) and indirect purchasers (consumers who bought at retail) may both qualify, depending on the settlement and your state's laws. Many antitrust settlements have separate funds for direct and indirect purchasers.
LIBOR and Financial Rate Manipulation
Major banks paid billions to settle claims that they manipulated the LIBOR interest rate benchmark, which affected the rates on mortgages, credit cards, and other financial products. If you had a financial product with a variable rate tied to LIBOR during 2003–2012, you may qualify.
Frequently Asked Questions
You qualify if you purchased the product or service affected by the price-fixing during the class period. For consumer-facing antitrust settlements, simply buying the product at retail (a grocery store, pharmacy, or retailer) is typically sufficient to file a claim.
For many consumer antitrust settlements, you can file a claim based on estimated purchases without exact receipts. Larger claims may require documentation. The claim form will specify what documentation, if any, is required.
Antitrust payouts vary enormously. Consumer product antitrust settlements (food, beverages, electronics) often pay $5–$50 per claimant. Financial product settlements (LIBOR, credit cards) can pay hundreds to thousands for affected accounts. Major direct-purchaser settlements can pay millions to businesses.
Direct purchasers bought directly from the price-fixing company (e.g., a retailer buying from a manufacturer). Indirect purchasers bought downstream (e.g., a consumer buying the product at retail). Many antitrust settlements have separate funds and separate claim forms for each group.
Bid-rigging occurs when competing companies secretly agree on who will win a contract, eliminating real competition. This artificially inflates prices paid by governments and businesses. If your company or municipality paid inflated contract prices due to bid-rigging, you may qualify for compensation.
