Class Action

A class action is a legal procedure where a group of people with similar grievances come together to sue a defendant, usually a corporation or organization. Instead of each individual filing separate lawsuits, they combine their claims into one case. This approach makes it more efficient and cost-effective, especially for issues affecting many people, like consumer fraud or environmental damage. If successful, the court's decision applies to the entire group, ensuring that they receive compensation or a remedy without each person having to go through a lengthy legal process alone.
