Class Action Gun Laws

On a very general level, class action lawsuits involve a 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, multiple negligent companies, as an example, being sued by a single person. While most class action lawsuits are filed for product liability claims, other case types also conclude in court, too, including shareholders suing for business fraud, workers, and residents over environmental disasters.

With a 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.

Additionally, these types of cases also 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 action lawsuits if the defendants are state governments or officials or if the plaintiffs number less than {one hundred,100.
