A class action lawsuit is a lawsuit in which the rights of many people are decided in a single case. One or more plaintiffs assert the claims of an entire class of plaintiffs, which helps avoid each individual filing their own separate lawsuit for the same injury or claim. In short, class action lawsuits have given individuals the power to stand up against powerful industries to stop illegal practices or recovery monetary losses.

A typical class action lawsuit involves multiple injured people, who have been injured similarly or in the same conduct. There are 4 types of class action lawsuits:

• Securities class action lawsuits: A group of investors that have been injured because of a company’s improper conduct, such as misstated earnings, or misrepresented or concealed risks.
• Product liability/personal injury class action lawsuits: A group of people who have been harmed by a defective product, such as a drug or a toxic spill, or by products that break down quickly.

• Consumer class action lawsuits: Consumers who are injured by the illegal practices of a company, such as illegal penalties for late-payments, hidden fees, illegal charges on bills, or misrepresentation of a product or service.
• Employment class action lawsuits: Employees of large companies that claim illegal business practices, such as discrimination or unpaid reimbursements.
