On a very general level, class action lawsuits involve a band of people in some capacity: A collective class, held together over the issue of a misrepresented product, suing a defendant, or a group of defendants, multiple negligent companies, as an example, being sued by an individual. While most class action suits are filed on behalf of product liability claims, other case types end up in court, too, including shareholders suing for business fraud, employees for discrimination, and residents over environmental disasters.
With a case, which may be filed in either state or federal court, class action lawsuits has its benefits. Because a limited number of 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.
Additionally, these types of cases do tend to have drawbacks. Before the lawsuit even moves forward, the collective group must be defined 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.
