As a general overview, class action lawsuits involve a large group 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 or persons. While most class action suits are filed for product liability claims, other types of cases also conclude in court, too, including shareholders suing for fraud, workers, and residents over environmental disasters.
With a case, which may be filed in either state or federal court, class action has its pluses. Because a limited number of witnesses overlap, the trial process inevitably moves along faster, while the overall cost of litigation tends to be lower than for individual plaintiffs filing alone.
Additionally, these types of cases do tend to have drawbacks. Before the class action even moves forward, the collective group must be called a class. Federal courts, as well, may dismiss class action lawsuits if the defendants are state governments or officials or if the plaintiffs number less than Sales And Value Of New Business
