What is a Class Action Lawsuit?

A class action lawsuit allows one person or a small group of people to sue on behalf of hundreds, thousands, or hundreds of thousands of different people with similar complaints. Because there is strength in numbers, a class action lawsuit is a powerful tool that individuals can use to enforce the law against large corporations and government entities.

Factors to Consider Before Filing a Class Action Lawsuit

There are several factors that must be considered prior to bringing a lawsuit as a class action:

  1. Numerosity – Are there enough people affected by the illegal practice to warrant a class action?
  2. Commonality – Do the affected people share common legal issues?
  3. Typicality – Are the claims of the person(s) bringing the suit typical of those of the entire class?
  4. Adequacy of Representation – Will the law firm bringing the case be willing and able to represent the interests of the entire class?

The attorneys at our firm have successfully tried class action lawsuits. We are also actively investigating many potential class action cases. For information about these potential lawsuits, please contact our offices.
