On a very general level, class action lawsuits involve a large group of people in some capacity: A collective class, formed together over the issue of a faulty product, suing a defendant, or a group of defendants, multiple negligent companies, as an example, being sued by an individual. While more class action lawsuits are filed on behalf of product liability claims, other types of cases end up in court, too, including shareholders suing for corporate fraud, employees for discrimination, and residents over environmental disasters.
Each case, which may be filed in either state or federal court, class action lawsuits has its pluses. Because less witnesses overlap, the trial process inevitably moves along faster, while the cost of litigation tends to be lower than for separate plaintiffs filing alone.
On the other hand, these types of cases also tend to have drawbacks. Before the lawsuit even moves forward, the collective group must be named as a class. Federal courts, as well, may stop class actions if the defendants are state governments or officials or if the plaintiffs number less than {one hundred,100.
