Hear from Ray!
Comcast tries to force all claims into arbitration. But if you opted out of Comcast's arbitration agreement, or still have time to, you can have your day in court. The federal Cable Act provides liquidated damages of $100 per day.
Here is the Hodges v. Comcast Cable Communications, LLC, class action lawsuit we filed in San Francisco. Case No. 4:18-cv-01829-HSG (N.D. Cal.). There's another case like it pending in federal court in Massachussets, Wainblat v. Comcast, Case 1:19-cv-10976-FDS (D. MA).
Why These Cases Are Important
Comcast systematically violates federal privacy law by keeping tabs on what its TV subscribers’ watch without their written consent. That’s our opinion based on two years' of investigation and litigation.
Under federal law, you decide whether your cable company can keep records of what you watch---information that could be used to target you, cross examine you, or even publicly embarrass you. If your cable company keeps those records on you without your written consent, the federal Cable Act provides liquidated damages of $100 per day. Some Comcast subscribers may have claims worth $10,000 or more. (For details on the claims, read the complaint.)
So we’ve sued Comcast in San Francisco and Massachusetts federal courts alleging Comcast systematically violates subscribers’ privacy.
Comcast — like other big corporations — hides behind arbitration clauses that do not allow subscribers to have their day in court. But Comcast can’t hide behind its arbitration clause if someone opts-out of arbitration.
If you signed up for Comcast Cable TV for the first time within the last 30 days, opt-out of Comcast’s arbitration clause HERE right away and then CLICK HERE to see if you qualify for our help.
If you’ve already opted out of Comcast’s arbitration clause, CLICK HERE and if you qualify to join our other clients.
What’s so great about opting out of arbitration? (1) If Comcast wrongs you, Comcast will have to face a judge, may be even a jury, (2) you may be entitled to thousands in damages that an arbitrator is unlikely to give you (statistics show Courts are relatively fair to consumers, but arbitration is not) and (3) you might stop Comcast from keeping tabs on what you and other subscribers watch.

This website is attorney advertising. This website is not an offer to provide legal services but, depending on your answers to our questions here, we may offer to be your lawyers. We are not your lawyers until you and we sign our written fee agreement. The information on this site is not legal advice. Our statements here are our opinions only.

If we offer to represent you, it's because we think you have a claim worth asserting, one that we're willing to risk our valuable time and money prosecuting. Having a good claim is not money in the bank, though. The outcome of all cases is uncertain.
