Class Action Fraud

On a very general level, class action lawsuits involve a large group of people in some capacity: A collective class, formed together over the issue of a defective product, suing a defendant, or a band of defendants, individual negligent companies, for instance, being sued by a single person. While most class action suits are filed on behalf of product liability claims, other types of cases also conclude in court, too, including groups of shareholders suing for corporate fraud, employees for discrimination, and residents over environmental disasters.

Each case, which can be filed in either federal or state court, class action has its benefits. Because less witnesses overlap, the trial process inevitably moves along more efficiently, while the overall cost of litigation tends to be lower than for individual plaintiffs filing alone.

Additionally, these types of cases also tend to have drawbacks. Before the lawsuit even moves forward, the prosecuting group must be called a class. Federal courts, as well, can stop class action lawsuits if the defendants are state governments or officials or if the plaintiffs number less than {one hundred,100.
