As a general overview, class action lawsuits involve a large group of people in some capacity: A collective class, even bound together over the issue of a broken product, suing a defendant, or a group of defendants, individual negligent companies, for instance, being sued by or persons. 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 has its benefits. Because fewer witnesses overlap, the trial process inevitably moves along more efficiently, while the cost of litigation tends to be lower than for one off plaintiffs filing alone.
On the other hand, these types of cases do tend to have drawbacks. Before the class action even moves forward, the prosecuting group must be called a class. Federal courts, as well, may stop class action lawsuits if the defendants are state governments or officials or if the plaintiffs number less than {one hundred,100.
