Price-fixing refers to agreements between competitors to set prices at a certain level, rather than allowing market forces to determine them freely. This practice is illegal because it disrupts fair competition and can lead to higher prices for consumers.
Such agreements violate federal and state antitrust laws designed to promote market fairness and prevent monopolistic behaviors that harm the economy and consumers.
If you notice that prices for certain goods or services remain unusually high or stable despite market changes, there could be indicators of price-fixing. Sudden, unexplained uniformity in pricing among competing businesses may also signal illicit agreements.
Consulting a knowledgeable attorney can help assess your situation and determine if legal action is warranted based on the evidence.
Victims of price-fixing may be entitled to recover financial damages caused by the inflated prices or unfair business practices. This can include compensatory damages to cover losses and sometimes punitive damages to discourage future violations.
