As a general rule, class action lawsuits involve a group of people in some capacity: A collective class, even bound 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 a single person. While more class action suits are filed for product liability claims, other types of cases also conclude in court, too, including groups of shareholders suing for business 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 fewer witnesses overlap, the trial process understandably moves along more efficiently, while the overall cost of litigation tends to be lower than for separate plaintiffs filing alone.
Additionally, these types of cases do tend to have drawbacks. Before the lawsuit even moves forward, the collective group must be called 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.
