As a general overview, 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, 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 end up in court, too, including groups of shareholders suing for business fraud, workers, and residents over environmental disasters.
Each case, which may be filed in either federal or state court, class action has its pluses. 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 separate plaintiffs filing alone.
On the other hand, these types of cases do tend to have drawbacks. Before the lawsuit even progresses, the prosecuting group must be defined as a class. Federal courts, as well, may stop class actions if the defendants are state governments or officials or if the plaintiffs number less than {one hundred,100.
