As a general rule, class action lawsuits involve a band of people in some capacity: A collective class, even bound together over the issue of a misrepresented product, suing a defendant, or a group of defendants, multiple negligent companies, for instance, being sued by an individual. While more class action suits are filed on behalf of product liability claims, other case types also conclude in court, too, including groups of shareholders suing for business fraud, workers, and residents over environmental disasters.
Each case, which can be filed in either state or federal court, class action has its benefits. Because less witnesses overlap, the trial process inevitably moves along faster, while the overall 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 class action even progresses, the collective group must be defined as a class. Federal courts, as well, can dismiss class actions if the defendants are state governments or officials or if the plaintiffs number less than {one hundred,100.
