As a general overview, class action lawsuits involve a band of people in some capacity: A collective class, held together over the issue of a broken product, suing a defendant, or a group of defendants, multiple negligent companies, as an example, being sued by or persons. While most class action lawsuits are filed on behalf of product liability claims, other case types also conclude in court, too, including shareholders suing for fraud, employees for discrimination, and residents over environmental disasters.
Each case, which may be filed in either state or federal court, class action lawsuits has its pluses. Because a limited number of witnesses overlap, the trial process understandably moves along more efficiently, while the cost of litigation tends to be lower than for separate plaintiffs filing alone.

Federal courts, as well, may conclude class actions if the defendants are state governments or officials or if the plaintiffs number less than {one hundred,100.
