As a general overview, class action lawsuits involve a group of people in some capacity: A collective class, even bound together over the issue of a defective product, suing a defendant, or a band of defendants, individual negligent companies, for instance, being sued by an individual. While most class action lawsuits are filed for product liability claims, other types of cases also conclude 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 state or federal court, class action has its benefits. Because a limited number of witnesses overlap, the trial process inevitably moves along faster, while the overall cost of litigation tends to be lower than for one off 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.
