As a general rule, class action lawsuits involve a group of people in some capacity: A collective class, even bound together over the issue of a misrepresented product, suing a defendant, or a group of defendants, individual 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 also conclude in court, too, including shareholders suing for corporate fraud, employees for discrimination, and residents over environmental disasters.
Each case, which can be filed in either state or federal court, class action has its pluses. Because less witnesses overlap, the trial process understandably moves along more efficiently, 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 moves forward, the collective group must be named as a class. 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.
