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 faulty product, suing a defendant, or a band of defendants, individual negligent companies, for instance, 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 corporate fraud, workers, and residents over environmental disasters.
Each case, which can be filed in either state or federal court, class action has its benefits. Because less witnesses overlap, the trial process inevitably moves along faster, while the cost of litigation tends to be lower than for separate plaintiffs filing alone.
On the other hand, these types of cases also tend to have drawbacks. Before the class action even moves forward, the prosecuting group must be called 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 Sales And Value Of New Business
