What is a class action lawsuit?
A class action lawsuit is brought on behalf of a group of people who all have similar injuries resulting from the same product. It is brought as one big lawsuit with a multiple named plaintiffs, rather than as many individual lawsuits. This speeds up the judicial process and often leaves the entity responsible for the injuries more likely to settle, rather than having to fight so many plaintiffs. Class action lawsuits have their own sets of rules for filing and joinder.
