As a general rule, class action lawsuits involve a band of people in some capacity: A collective class, formed together over the issue of a defective product, suing a defendant, or a group of defendants, multiple negligent companies, for instance, being sued by an individual. While most class action lawsuits are filed on behalf of product liability claims, other types of cases end up in court, too, including groups of shareholders suing for business fraud, workers, and residents over environmental disasters.
With a case, which can be filed in either federal or state court, class action 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 individual plaintiffs filing alone.
Additionally, these types of cases do tend to have drawbacks. Before the lawsuit even moves forward, the collective group must be named 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.
