Class Action Fraud

As a general rule, class action lawsuits involve a group of people in some capacity: A collective class, formed together over the issue of a misrepresented product, suing a defendant, or a band of defendants, multiple negligent companies, for instance, being sued by a single person. While most class action lawsuits are filed on behalf of product liability claims, other types of cases end up in court, too, including groups of shareholders suing for 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 understandably moves along more efficiently, while the overall cost of litigation tends to be lower than for separate plaintiffs filing alone.

Additionally, these types of cases do tend to have drawbacks. Before the class action even progresses, the prosecuting 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.
