What is a class action lawsuit?

Class action lawsuits are civil cases filed on behalf of a group affected by the same entity, often due to lack of resources for individual legal action. Lawyers typically work on a contingency fee basis. Common issues include:

• Unlawful hiring or wage practices

• Dangerous or defective products (e.g., pharmaceuticals, vehicles, electronics)

• Environmental or health-related concerns

• Financial fraud and deceptive business practices

The process starts with a lead plaintiff filing a complaint, demonstrating that claims are typical of the class. If certified, the lawsuit may lead to settlements, providing compensation and encouraging corporate behavior changes. Class members should stay informed about case details and any actions needed for compensation.
