As a general rule, class action lawsuits involve a band of people in some capacity: A collective class, held together over the issue of a broken product, suing a defendant, or a group of defendants, multiple negligent companies, for instance, being sued by an individual. While most 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 business 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 a limited number of witnesses overlap, the trial process inevitably moves along faster, while the cost of litigation tends to be lower than for individual plaintiffs filing alone.
Additionally, these types of cases also tend to have drawbacks. Before the lawsuit even progresses, the collective group must be defined as 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.
