As a general overview, class action lawsuits involve a group of people in some capacity: A collective class, even bound together over the issue of a faulty product, suing a defendant, or a group of defendants, multiple negligent companies, as an example, being sued by a single person. While most class action lawsuits are filed for product liability claims, other case types end up in court, too, including shareholders suing for fraud, workers, and residents over environmental disasters.
With a case, which can be filed in either state or federal court, class action lawsuits has its pluses. Because less witnesses overlap, the trial process inevitably moves along faster, while the overall cost of litigation tends to be lower than for individual plaintiffs filing alone.
Additionally, these types of cases do tend to have drawbacks. Before the lawsuit even progresses, the prosecuting group must be defined as a class. Federal courts, as well, can stop class actions if the defendants are state governments or officials or if the plaintiffs number less than {one hundred,100.
