Class Actions
A class action is a lawsuit in which, one or more plaintiffs sue one or more defendants on behalf of themselves and other similarly situated. Oftentimes the cost of litigation makes an otherwise meritorious claim not financially viable. To address this unfairness, the law created the class action rules. In a class action case, a lot of small cases can be consolidated into one single case as long as they meet certain requirements; usually related to how common the claims of the group are. A class action is the perfect mechanism to hold large corporation wrongdoers accountable. At Ayala we have filed several class actions against large corporations who in one way or another abused our clients. Learn more in our โCurrent Cases and Investigationsโ section below.
Current Cases and Investigations
- Paradise Grills Lawsuit and Investigation:
We recently filed a lawsuit against Paradise Grilling Systems, Inc., the company that manufactures high-end outdoor kitchens called ""Paradise Grills."" Our lawsuit claims that Paradise Grills are improperly designed by failing to include adequate ventilation around the propane chamber of the grills which causes accumulation of gas that then results in a violent explosion. Paradise Grills improperly installs these kitchens without following what its own manuals state regarding ventilation of propane chambers.If you have purchased an outdoor kitchen from Paradise Grills, you may be entitled to compensation.

- Copa America Final Lawsuit and Investigation:
We recently filed a lawsuit against Conmebol, Concacaf and the Miami Dolphins Stadium for actions in connection with the Copa America final and the failure to provide proper security at the event. The Complaint seeks redress for a class of invitee fans who paid money to attend the Copa America Final football match between Argentina and Columbia at the Hard Rock Stadium but were denied entry because of Defendantsโ failure to implement adequate security protocols that resulted in mass chaos, injuries, and ultimately, the Defendantsโ decision to open the stadium to thousands of unticketed fans and to exclude ticketed invitee fans like Plaintiffs and the Class Members.If you were one of these ticketed fans that were not able to enter the stadium the day of the final, you may be entitled to compensation.

Illegal Towing
Anyone towing a vehicle in Florida without the consent of the owner must comply with the requirements of Florida Statutes Section 715.07. If you parked at a spot, and your car was towed when you came back, contact the local police department to report the vehicle as missing. Local law enforcement will be able to tell you whether your vehicle has been towed and, if so, which towing company towed the vehicle and where your vehicle is stored.
If your vehicle was damaged in the towing process, you may recover the costs to repair your vehicle. Florida Statutes also require that the towing company store your vehicle within 10 miles of the towing site. If your vehicle was taken to a storage location more than 10 miles from the location of the tow, your rights may have been violated.
There are also local rules that regulate how much a towing company can charge your vehicle based on its size and the time it was stored at its facilities.
All these laws and rules are there to protect you from Towing Companiesโ predatory practices. If you believe you were not parked illegally, and yet, were towed, contact our office.
