Consumer class actions allow large groups of people who have been harmed by the same defective product, fraudulent business practice, or breach of contract to collectively sue a company for damages. These lawsuits help hold corporations accountable for widespread harm that affects many consumers.

In a class action lawsuit, one or more plaintiffs represent a larger group of individuals who have suffered similar harm. This group, known as the class, must demonstrate commonality in their claims, meaning they were affected in the same or similar way by the defendant’s actions.

Class actions are often filed in cases involving defective products, false advertising, data breaches, and financial fraud. These cases allow consumers to join forces and pursue compensation as a group, which can be more efficient and cost-effective than individual lawsuits.

Before a class action lawsuit can proceed, the court must certify the class. This involves determining whether the plaintiffs meet the legal requirements for a class action, including commonality, numerosity, and adequacy of representation. Certification is a critical step in moving the lawsuit forward.

Many class action lawsuits are resolved through settlement negotiations, where the defendant agrees to pay a sum of money to the class members without admitting liability. Settlements can provide compensation to consumers while avoiding the time and expense of a trial.
