What is a
Class Action Lawsuit
A "class action" is a civil suit brought by one or more
people on behalf of themselves and others who are similarly
situated. In other words, the others are in a substantially
similar circumstance where the common issues are the most
critical to the lawsuit. For example, if a large number of
consumers is injured as a result of an allegedly defective
product, the principal issue will be whether the product
caused the injury. Some examples of class actions are those
brought against the manufacturers of allegedly defective or
hazardous products, such as asbestos, certain vaccines,
Agent Orange, tobacco, and breast implants. Only then will
the question of how badly each party was injured be heard.
