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 misrepresented product, suing a defendant, or a band of defendants, individual negligent companies, for instance, being sued by a single person. While more class action suits are filed for product liability claims, other types of cases end up in court, too, including groups of shareholders suing for corporate fraud, workers, and residents over environmental disasters.
With a case, which can be filed in either federal or state court, class action has its pluses. Because less 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, can conclude class actions if the defendants are state governments or officials or if the plaintiffs number less than {one hundred,100.
