Click here for updates concerning current Class Action Lawsuits

A class action is a type of lawsuit in which one or more named plaintiffs sue on behalf of all members of a group that suffered from a common wrong to recover damages for the entire group without the need for each member of the group to file an individual lawsuit. These types of cases can be vastly more efficient and economical than individual lawsuits.
