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 faulty product, suing a defendant, or a band of defendants, individual negligent companies, as an example, being sued by an individual. While more class action suits are filed for product liability claims, other case types also conclude in court, too, including groups of shareholders suing for corporate fraud, employees for discrimination, and residents over environmental disasters.
With a case, which can be filed in either federal or state court, class action lawsuits has its benefits. Because fewer witnesses overlap, the trial process inevitably moves along faster, while the cost of litigation tends to be lower than for one off plaintiffs filing alone.
On the other hand, these types of cases do tend to have drawbacks. Before the class action even moves forward, the collective group must be defined as a class. Federal courts, as well, can conclude class action lawsuits if the defendants are state governments or officials or if the plaintiffs number less than {one hundred,100.
