What Is A Class Action Lawsuit?
2
Class Action Lawsuit

• A class action is a type of lawsuit filed by
  members of a group whose members suffered from a
  common wrong. In a class action lawsuit, a
  representative plaintiff sues on behalf of all
  members of the group in order to recover damages
  for the entire group. Class actions eliminate the
  need for each member of the group to file an
  individual lawsuit, therefore making the process
  of settling the claim much more efficient and
  economical.
• Examples include personal injury caused by a
  mass transit accident, defective product, a
  flawed medical device, or financial injury caused
  by an employers violation of state wage and hour
  laws, employment discrimination, consumer fraud
  or corporate misconduct.

Types Of Consumer Class Action Lawsuits

• Internet Service Customers
• Prescription Drug Purchasers

Defective Products

• When a manufacturer places an object or device on
  the market that proves to be defective, the
  manufacturer will be held strictly liable for any
  injury inflicted on the consumer that results.
  State and federal law offers consumer protection
  against defective products, products which are
  defectively designed, and products with false or
  misleading advertising.

Credit Card Holders

• There have been several class action lawsuits
  filed against major credit card companies for
  various reasons. For instance, several class
  action lawsuits have been filed against Capital
  One for marking payments received on time as late
  and assessing late payment fees. Capital One was
  also accused of increasing their interest rate as
  a result of the supposed late payments.

Internet Service Customers

• Internet service providers are often sued in
  class action lawsuits for distributing customers
  private information. A class action lawsuit has
  recently been filed against the popular social
  networking website, Facebook Inc., alleging the
  company mishandled users private information and
  therefore breached users privacy.

7
Prescription Drug Purchasers

• The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approves
  prescription drugs when the drugs benefits are
  believed to outweigh its costs. Yet, it is
  impossible for the FDA to foresee every possible
  side effect of the drug. When a prescription drug
  turns out to be defective, all those injured or
  impaired by the drug may file a class-action
  lawsuit.
