Small businesses are getting picked apart as Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) class actions continue to clog federal courts.
The TCPA allows consumers to collect up to $500.00 per call or text for illegal communications from businesses– but those damages are often aggregated into class actions by lawyers hungry for a multi-million dollar payday.
Some of the richest and most sophisticated lawyers in the nation are bringing (and defending) TCPA class action suits, with potential exposure that often exceeds a billion dollars.
Even large companies cannot sustain the massive shock of a TCPA class action judgment– and no other lawsuit is more likely to drive a small business out of business.
2024 saw the highest count of TCPA class action lawsuit filings in history– but the numbers in 2025 are simply staggering.
Through end of August, 2025 TCPA class action suits were up over 90% from last year.
But the numbers in September are simply mind blogging.
There were 224 TCPA class actions filed in September, 2025 alone– this compares to a relatively tame 79 class actions filed in 2024.
This amounts to a 283% increase in class actions in September.
1,636 vs. 800– which means TCPA class action filings more than doubled year to date!
