On a very general level, class action lawsuits involve a band of people in some capacity: A collective class, formed together over the issue of a broken product, suing a defendant, or a band of defendants, multiple negligent companies, as an example, being sued by a single person. While more class action suits are filed for product liability claims, other case types end up in court, too, including shareholders suing for business fraud, employees for discrimination, and residents over environmental disasters.
Each case, which can be filed in either state or federal court, class action lawsuits has its pluses. Because less witnesses overlap, the trial process understandably moves along faster, 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 class action even progresses, the collective group must be named as 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.
