Are Many Needed for a Lawsuit?
If you are having problems with a company—whether it’s your retailer, a company you bought stock in, or even your employer—many other people may well be having the same problems. A class action suit is often a good solution in these situations because it can allow thousands of people across wide distances to all benefit from a single case.
It does not take a lot of people to begin a class action. Class action lawsuits often start when one motivated person decides to take action.
Class Actions Must Involve A Common Problem
It is not always obvious to an individual whether their problem is grounds for a class action. Generally, there must be many people experiencing the same type of problem. For example, class action suits have been filed when many people all:
-
bought the same defective or unsafe product;
-
were victims of the same credit card fraud;
-
had the same employment rights violated;
-
or were exposed to the same privacy violations.
