Antitrust class action lawsuits are filed on behalf of groups of consumers or businesses who were harmed by anti-competitive practices, such as price-fixing or monopolistic behavior. These cases aim to stop conduct that limits competition and drives prices artificially higher.

It’s not uncommon for large corporations to face allegations of violating antitrust laws. Recently, Blue Cross Blue Shield agreed to a more than $2.5 billion settlement over claims it artificially increased prices. In February 2026, Pepsi and Walmart were accused of price-fixing

Investigations by the United States Department of Justice or the Federal Trade Commission often lead to the filing of these types of antitrust lawsuits.
