As a general rule, class action lawsuits involve a group of people in some capacity: A collective class, held together over the issue of a defective product, suing a defendant, or a group of defendants, multiple negligent companies, as an example, being sued by or persons. While more 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 corporate fraud, employees for discrimination, and residents over environmental disasters.
Each case, which may be filed in either federal or state court, class action lawsuits has its pluses. Because less witnesses overlap, the trial process understandably moves along more efficiently, while the overall cost of litigation tends to be lower than for one off plaintiffs filing alone.
On the other hand, these types of cases also tend to have drawbacks. Before the class action even progresses, the collective group must be called a class. Federal courts, as well, may conclude class actions if the defendants are state governments or officials or if the plaintiffs number less than {one hundred,100.
