Is This a Duke Energy Lawsuit? What Am I Signing Up For, Exactly?

You are not signing up for a Duke Energy class action lawsuit, but rather a process known as mass arbitration. This is a relatively new legal technique that, like a class action lawsuit, allows a large group of people to take action and seek compensation from a company over an alleged wrongdoing. Here is a quick explanation of mass arbitration from our blog:

“[M]ass arbitration occurs when hundreds or thousands of consumers file individual arbitration claims against the same company over the same issue at the same time. The aim of a mass arbitration proceeding is to grant relief on a large scale (similar to a class action lawsuit) for those who sign up.”

Duke Energy’s terms of use contain both a class action waiver and an arbitration clause requiring website users to resolve disputes via arbitration, a form of alternative dispute resolution that takes place outside of court before a neutral arbitrator, as opposed to a judge or jury. It’s for this reason that attorneys working with ClassAction.org have decided to handle this matter as a mass arbitration rather than a class action lawsuit.

Who Can Join the Duke Energy Arbitration?

You may have a claim against Duke Energy if you:

Are 18 or older;
Visited Duke-Energy.com on a computer or mobile browser in the past two years;
Used the site to view information about your Duke Energy account, manage your account or pay a bill; and
Are willing to provide proof, such as a screenshot, of your use of the Duke Energy website.

If you have only used the Duke Energy app and not the website, you may not qualify to file a claim.

How Do I Prove I Used the Duke Energy Website?

The attorneys may ask you to upload a screenshot of a Duke Energy bill, your online account page, or a payment confirmation.

Does It Cost Anything to Sign Up?

It costs nothing to sign up, and you’ll only need to pay if the attorneys win money on your behalf. Their payment will come as a percentage of your award.

If they don’t win your claim, you don’t pay.

How Much Money Could I Get?

There are no guarantees as to how much money you could get or whether your claim will be successful. However, consumers who sign up to take action could have claims worth $100s for violations of their privacy rights.
