On a very general level, class action lawsuits involve a group of people in some capacity: A collective class, formed together over the issue of a defective product, suing a defendant, or a band of defendants, multiple negligent companies, for instance, being sued by or persons. While most class action suits are filed on behalf of product liability claims, other types of cases also conclude in court, too, including 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 lawsuits has its benefits. Because less witnesses overlap, the trial process inevitably moves along more efficiently, while the overall cost of litigation tends to be lower than for one off plaintiffs filing alone.
Additionally, 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, can conclude class actions if the defendants are state governments or officials or if the plaintiffs number less than {one hundred,100.
