A class action lawsuit is a legal action brought by one or more individuals on behalf of a larger group of people with similar claims. Understanding how class action lawsuits work is important if you believe you've been harmed.
How Class Action Lawsuits Work
One or more individuals file a lawsuit on behalf of all similarly situated people. If the lawsuit is successful, all class members typically receive compensation, though the amount per person may be modest.
Types of Class Action Cases
Class actions include consumer protection cases, securities fraud, defective product cases, and employment discrimination. They allow individuals to pursue claims that might be too small to pursue alone.
Your Rights as a Class Member
If you're part of a class action, you typically have the right to opt out, receive notice of settlement, and share in any recovery.
