As a general rule, class action lawsuits involve a band of people in some capacity: A collective class, held together over the issue of a faulty product, suing a defendant, or a group of defendants, individual negligent companies, for instance, being sued by an individual. While more class action lawsuits are filed for product liability claims, other case types also conclude in court, too, including groups of 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 lawsuits has its benefits. Because less witnesses overlap, the trial process understandably moves along faster, 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 moves forward, the collective group must be named as a class. Federal courts, as well, can conclude class action lawsuits if the defendants are state governments or officials or if the plaintiffs number less than {one hundred,100.
