As a general overview, class action lawsuits involve a group of people in some capacity: A collective class, even bound together over the issue of a defective product, suing a defendant, or a group of defendants, individual negligent companies, as an example, being sued by or persons. While most class action suits are filed for product liability claims, other types of cases end up in court, too, including shareholders suing for fraud, employees for discrimination, and residents over environmental disasters.
Each case, which may be filed in either state or federal court, class action lawsuits has its pluses. Because fewer witnesses overlap, the trial process understandably moves along more efficiently, 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 moves forward, the prosecuting group must be named as a class. Federal courts, as well, may dismiss class actions if the defendants are state governments or officials or if the plaintiffs number less than {one hundred,100.
