TCPA Lawsuits and Compliance

We can help you navigate through the complicated TCPA laws and regulations governing live calls, recorded calls (aka robocalls), and SMS text messages to consumers.

What is TCPA?

The Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) places restrictions on telephone solicitations and the use of automated telephone dialing equipment. In certain instances, the TCPA authorizes recipients to file civil lawsuits and recover compensation.

Fines for Violation of TCPA

Recipients of certain types of unsolicited phone calls, robocalls, faxes, and text messages may file civil lawsuits and recover up to $1,500 per violation. In class action lawsuits, the TCPA allows each class member to recover between $500 and $1,500 in damages.

TCPA Class Action Lawsuits

Over the last several years, there has been a surge in TCPA class action litigation. A significant portion of these lawsuits involves mass text messages, where the plaintiffs allege that the sender did not obtain the recipients’ consent to send the messages. Because commercial text messages are typically sent out in very high volume, and because the TCPA allows each class member to recover significant financial damages, TCPA class actions quickly become “bet-the-company” lawsuits. Additionally, class actions involving live calls made with an automated system, or involving robocalls, can also involve potential damages that can cripple a company.
