What You Should Know About Class Actions
Class actions are a form of lawsuit where a group of people collectively brings a legal claim to court. Class actions are brought for many reasons such as when companies use deceptive or dangerous practices that injure consumers, or create products or prescription drugs that cause harm. Usually, in a class action, all of the plaintiffs have experienced the same or similar injuries, but a few serve as named plaintiffs to represent the whole group. Class actions are especially useful when a large group of consumers or small businesses have all been victimized by an illegal business practice but the economic harm to each victim is too small for each person to be able to afford to hire an attorney individually. By serving as a class representative, a small group of plaintiffs can seek compensation on behalf of all of the victims who have been harmed by the same unlawful conduct.
