Consumer Class Action Litigation
A class action is a legal device that allows one person to sue on behalf of all persons who have experienced the same or similar misconduct at the hands of the same defendant. Class actions promote two principal goals: they provides a mechanism for prosecuting the claims of many persons whose injuries added together are significant, but which, individually, would not be large enough to justify the expense of bringing of individual lawsuits. It also prevents the clogging of the court system by allowing the similar claims of thousands, or even millions, of individuals to be adjudicated in a single case. Because there is strength in numbers, a class action lawsuit is a powerful tool that individuals can use to enforce the law against large corporate firms and government entities.
