As a general overview, class action lawsuits involve a group of people in some capacity: A collective class, even bound together over the issue of a broken product, suing a defendant, or a group of defendants, individual negligent companies, for instance, being sued by or persons. While more class action suits are filed for product liability claims, other case types end up in court, too, including groups of shareholders suing for corporate fraud, workers, and residents over environmental disasters.

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.
