Class Settlement

A class settlement is a legal agreement that resolves a lawsuit on behalf of a group of people who have similar claims, known as a "class." Instead of each individual suing separately, the class action allows them to combine their cases. If the court approves the settlement, the affected individuals receive compensation or other remedies, while the defendant often avoids a lengthy trial. This process helps provide a more efficient and equitable resolution for many people impacted by the same issue, such as consumer fraud or workplace discrimination.
