Can any lawsuit be a class action?
No. People seek justice in class action lawsuits when their injuries have been caused by the same defective product, such as a particular pharmaceutical drug or motor vehicle. It only makes sense for the attorney to file the case as a class action if numerous people were injured in the same way by the same product or action. Most class action statutes require a minimum number of members to form a class; some also require that each plaintiff suffered a minimum amount of damage.
