A class action is a lawsuit that permits individuals with similar
claims to sue on behalf of a larger group of individuals. To effectively

class members and the individuals affected must be so numerous as
to make it impracticable to bring all their claims individually

Class actions accomplish several goals:
- First, they make it easier for individuals who have been injured
to seek compensation and other remedies by sharing the cost of

in class actions involving dangerous and defective products, dangerous
drugs, consumer fraud and deceptive business practices and toxic and
