On a very general level, class action lawsuits involve a large group of people in some capacity: A collective class, even bound together over the issue of a defective product, suing a defendant, or a band of defendants, individual negligent companies, as an example, being sued by or persons. While more class action suits are filed on behalf of product liability claims, other types of cases end up in court, too, including shareholders suing for corporate fraud, employees for discrimination, and residents over environmental disasters.
With a case, which may be filed in either state or federal 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 progresses, the collective group must be defined as a class. Federal courts, as well, may dismiss class actions if the defendants are state governments or officials or if the plaintiffs number less than {one hundred,100.
