Defining a Class Action

Group lawsuits can come in two different forms, class actions and mass torts, but they all involve more than one person – think power in numbers. A class action is a complaint filed by one party on behalf of many who have a similar case. Frequently, class actions can force a company or corporation to take legal action to amend the situation. A mass tort is similar to a class action where it combines many cases into a single trial, but the difference is that each plaintiff is treated as an individual. In a mass tort, the cases are argued together to pool resources, but each case can benefit from the power of the group.

Class actions frequently can have a national reach, especially if a very large number of consumers has been affected. They can cover all types of products and services, from medical devices and medications to toys, tires, financial investments and more. The ultimate goal of a class action, aside from recovering damages to compensate you for your losses, is to protect consumers from the faulty products or services and to prevent similar situations from happening again.
