Class Action Lawsuits
A class action lawsuit is a legal case where a group of people with similar claims against a defendant—often a company or organization—join together to sue. This allows individuals to collectively seek justice, especially when their individual claims may be too small to pursue on their own. By acting as a group, they can share the costs and resources of the lawsuit, making it more efficient. Class actions are commonly used in cases related to consumer fraud, product defects, or employment issues, and they help ensure that larger entities are held accountable for their actions.

A class-action lawsuit is a legal case where a group of people with similar grievances against a defendant, often a company or organization, comes together to sue collectively. This allows individuals who might have smaller claims, which would be impractical to pursue alone, to band together for a common cause. By doing so, they can share resources and costs, making it easier to seek justice or compensation. If the lawsuit is successful, any awarded damages are typically distributed among the group members based on their individual claims.
