About Class Action Lawsuits
Santa Clarita Personal Injury Lawyer
A class action lawsuit is one wherein multiple plaintiffs bring a case against a defendant. Class action suits most often arise in situations involving product liability, toxic torts and defective drugs. For example, a manufacturer may create a home appliance that actually has a design defect, causing it to cause electrocution in certain situations. If one million people purchase and use that product, there is the possibility that hundreds or even thousands will be injured. Rather than file individual lawsuits against the manufacturer, those people would have the option of filing a class action lawsuit to seek justice and the financial compensation they need. Following are some examples of potential class action lawsuits:
