As a general overview, class action lawsuits involve a group of people in some capacity: A collective class, held together over the issue of a misrepresented product, suing a defendant, or a band of defendants, individual negligent companies, as an example, being sued by a single person. While more class action lawsuits are filed on behalf of product liability claims, other case types also conclude in court, too, including shareholders suing for fraud, workers, and residents over environmental disasters.
Each case, which may be filed in either federal or state court, class action lawsuits has its benefits. 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 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.
