As a general overview, class action lawsuits involve a band 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, as an example, being sued by or persons. While most class action suits are filed for product liability claims, other case types also conclude in court, too, including shareholders suing for business fraud, employees for discrimination, and residents over environmental disasters.
Each case, which may be filed in either state or federal court, class action has its pluses. Because fewer witnesses overlap, the trial process inevitably moves along faster, while the overall cost of litigation tends to be lower than for separate plaintiffs filing alone.
Additionally, these types of cases also tend to have drawbacks. Before the lawsuit even moves forward, the prosecuting group must be defined as a class. Federal courts, as well, may conclude class action lawsuits if the defendants are state governments or officials or if the plaintiffs number less than {one hundred,100.
