On a very general level, class action lawsuits involve a large 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 a single person. 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 fraud, employees for discrimination, and residents over environmental disasters.
With a case, which can be filed in either federal or state court, class action lawsuits has its benefits. Because a limited number of 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 lawsuit even progresses, the collective group must be named as a class. Federal courts, as well, can dismiss class action lawsuits if the defendants are state governments or officials or if the plaintiffs number less than {one hundred,100.
