As a general rule, class action lawsuits involve a large group of people in some capacity: A collective class, formed together over the issue of a defective product, suing a defendant, or a band of defendants, multiple negligent companies, for instance, being sued by or persons. While most class action suits are filed on behalf of product liability claims, other types of cases also conclude in court, too, including groups of shareholders suing for corporate fraud, workers, and residents over environmental disasters.
Each case, which may be filed in either state or federal court, class action has its benefits. Because fewer 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 do tend to have drawbacks. Before the lawsuit even progresses, the collective group must be defined as a class. Federal courts, as well, may dismiss class action lawsuits if the defendants are state governments or officials or if the plaintiffs number less than {one hundred,100.
