Federal and state antitrust laws protect consumer rights and promote competition in the marketplace.
Occasionally, competitors within the same market conspire to work with each other to gain more profit at the expense of the individual buyer.
This occurs when companies:
- Fix prices
- Rig bids
- Commit fraud
- Divide businesses
When antitrust laws are violated, consumers lose the benefits of competition, and prices become artificially high.
This inflation costs individuals billions of dollars each year in illegal and excessive overcharges.
