Class Action Lawsuits

A class action lawsuit is when a group of plaintiffs with a similar grievance (injury, rights violation, etc.) collectively files a claim against one or more defendants. For instance, a group of people who were injured by a defective product might band together to sue that product’s manufacturer. When a class action lawsuit is successful, plaintiffs will individually receive an equal share of the settlement or verdict. Class action lawsuits are advantageous for several reasons, including:

They help reduce the number of individual cases clogging up the court system.
They help reduce the costs of litigation.
They allow plaintiffs who can’t afford to file an individual claim to receive restitution.
They help motivate defendants to settle because there are so many plaintiffs.
