As a general rule, 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, as an example, being sued by an individual. While most class action suits are filed for product liability claims, other types of cases also conclude in court, too, including groups of shareholders suing for fraud, workers, and residents over environmental disasters.
Each case, which can be filed in either federal or state court, class action has its pluses. Because fewer witnesses overlap, the trial process understandably moves along faster, while the cost of litigation tends to be lower than for individual plaintiffs filing alone.
Additionally, these types of cases do tend to have drawbacks. Before the class action even progresses, the prosecuting group must be named as a class. Federal courts, as well, can dismiss class actions if the defendants are state governments or officials or if the plaintiffs number less than {one hundred,100.
