On a very general level, class action lawsuits involve a large group of people in some capacity: A collective class, even bound together over the issue of a broken product, suing a defendant, or a band of defendants, individual negligent companies, for instance, being sued by or persons. While most 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 may 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 overall cost of litigation tends to be lower than for separate plaintiffs filing alone.
On the other hand, these types of cases do tend to have drawbacks. Before the lawsuit even progresses, the collective group must be called 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.
