Media/Telecom Lawsuits

Media and Telecommunication laws cover a wide area of consumer rights. Media and telecommunications laws govern print, radio, television, internet, video or DVD, video games, cable telephones, mobile telephones and fax. Lawsuits in this category can be filed against telecommunications or media companies who have overcharged you or charged for undelivered services. Lawsuits can also involve violations of privacy, false advertising, unfair business practices, unauthorized use of media, and more.

One common Telecommunications law is the Do-Not-Call Implementation Act put in place in 2003 by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to limit telemarketing calls. U.S. residents can register for free and telemarketers must comply with this nationwide request and stop calling within 31 days.

Lawyers and law firms specializing in Media and Telecommunication laws can help resolve your complaints and injustices.
