When legal action is filed by more than one individual against a sole person or entity, it is called a “Class Action.” It is also known as a class-action lawsuit, class suit, or representative action.
A class action is intended for situations where more than one person sustains similar damages as a result of the defendant’s wrongdoing. They can hire a lawyer by filing litigation as a group of plaintiffs. Class actions are commonly filed against various companies, employers, financial institutions, and even government entities.
Due to the complexity of those lawsuits and multiple plaintiffs, a class action is often prolonged for years, and the restitution divided among the group usually fails to amount to the damage. Even so, class action lawsuits allow those who may not be able to afford to sue an opportunity to get compensation for their loss.
A trustworthy class action lawyer can help a group of plaintiffs who went through similar circumstances to act in a united manner at the same time while representing them in judicial proceedings. Ultimately, if you or your friends and family suffer identical damages, hiring a lawyer to represent all individuals as a group in a class-action lawsuit is one of the best approaches.
