Judge Denies Request to Certify Class Action Lawsuit
Troutman Sanders was named in a May 24 Cook County Record article reporting on a judge’s denial of a plaintiff’s request to certify a class action lawsuit against firm client iyeTek LLC, a subsidiary of LexisNexis. Saying plaintiffs would be hard pressed to demonstrate precisely how otherwise-protected information may have ended up on police vehicle crash reports, a Chicago federal judge has refused to allow a class action lawsuit to proceed against a St. Louis-based personal injury trial law firm accused of purchasing traffic crash reports and using personal information from those reports to solicit business from potential clients.
