Class Action Blizzard

As a general rule, class action lawsuits involve a 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, as an example, being sued by an individual. While more class action suits are filed for product liability claims, other types of cases end up in court, too, including shareholders suing for business fraud, employees for discrimination, and residents over environmental disasters.

With a case, which can be filed in either state or federal court, class action has its benefits. Because a limited number of witnesses overlap, the trial process inevitably moves along faster, while the overall cost of litigation tends to be lower than for individual plaintiffs filing alone.

On the other hand, these types of cases do tend to have drawbacks. Before the class action even progresses, the collective group must be named as a class. Federal courts, as well, can stop class actions if the defendants are state governments or officials or if the plaintiffs number less than {one hundred,100.
