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 misrepresented product, suing a defendant, or a band of defendants, individual negligent companies, for instance, being sued by an individual. While most class action suits are filed on behalf of product liability claims, other case types also conclude in court, too, including groups of shareholders suing for fraud, employees for discrimination, and residents over environmental disasters.
With a case, which can be filed in either state or federal court, class action has its pluses. Because fewer witnesses overlap, the trial process understandably moves along more efficiently, 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 do tend to have drawbacks. Before the class action even progresses, the collective group must be called a class. Federal courts, as well, can stop class action lawsuits if the defendants are state governments or officials or if the plaintiffs number less than {one hundred,100.
