As a general rule, class action lawsuits involve a band of people in some capacity: A collective class, held together over the issue of a misrepresented product, suing a defendant, or a group of defendants, multiple negligent companies, for instance, being sued by a single person. While most class action lawsuits are filed for product liability claims, other types of cases end up in court, too, including shareholders suing for corporate fraud, workers, and residents over environmental disasters.
Each case, which can be filed in either federal or state court, class action has its pluses. Because a limited number of witnesses overlap, the trial process inevitably moves along more efficiently, while the overall cost of litigation tends to be lower than for one off plaintiffs filing alone.
Additionally, these types of cases do tend to have drawbacks. Before the lawsuit even moves forward, the collective group must be defined as a class. Federal courts, as well, can stop class action lawsuits if the defendants are state governments or officials or if the plaintiffs number less than {one hundred,100.
