Cable Outage Class Action Settlement

  • Claims can be filed using online form
  • Applies to outages on 4 distinct dates
  • Administrator contact info is provided

When cable service is lost for more than 24 hours at a time people can become a little on edge.  Perhaps this feeling is the driving force behind the filing of the recently settled (pending approval) class action lawsuit titled Bruce M. Cooper, et al. v. Charter Communications, Inc., et al.  The suit was filed over claims that the Defendant should have granted credits to customers who experienced outages for 24 or more consecutive hours caused by severe weather events.  The suit also alleges that the Defendant failed to clearly, conspicuously, and accurately disclose its credit and refund policy.  It should be made clear that the Defendant denies any liability, however, but both sides have agreed to settle the case now so that the uncertainties and high costs of further litigation can be avoided.  Those who believe they are eligible for compensation can begin the filing process by filling out the Proof of Claims form received with the notice or by going to the Cable Outage Class Action Settlement page to print one out.
