On a very general level, class action lawsuits involve a group 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 or persons. While more class action lawsuits are filed on behalf of 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.
Each case, which can be filed in either state or federal court, class action has its pluses. Because fewer witnesses overlap, the trial process inevitably moves along more efficiently, while the overall cost of litigation tends to be lower than for separate plaintiffs filing alone.
Additionally, these types of cases also tend to have drawbacks. Before the lawsuit even moves forward, the collective 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.
