They key is not to become a target.

Blood in the Water

Litigators are smart. They pick and choose their cases based on what they can win, either in court or through a forced settlement. If they don’t smell the blood, they are likely to swim away and find a new target.

So, what is blood in the water to a TCPA litigator?

#1 You’ve already been sued for TCPA violations

If you’ve been sued once, you’ll be sued again. This is your gushing wound that will attract litigators from throughout the country. Once you have been sued and lose in court or settle, you need to be very diligent because they will come back for more.

Not everyone knows that they need to follow TCPA regulations. Politicians, for example, typically think they are exempt. However, a recent lawsuit found a software provider liable for violations made by politicians using their service. Litigators know how to take industries that are typically not concerned with the TCPA and make them pay for this ambiguity and their lack of attention.

Companies with deep pockets are a strong target for any type of lawsuit – including TCPA ones. The belief is that these companies will be likely to ask for a quick settlement to avoid going to court. That’s fast money for TCPA lawyers.
