Quote Quoting Mr. Knowitall

Most federal circuits limit you to one claim for statutory damages per action. (Not per violation.) I'm not sure that all circuits have yet ruled on the issue.
For clarification, I was referring to the prospect of a finding that violations of the FDCA and FCRA were made in a single action. Thus, you could get $1000 per each violation of the separate Acts as a whole. (Not that you could get $1000 for individual elements of each Act). Separate from these potential awards, you could also potentially collect actual damages and attorneys fees.
