How many people must be involved in a case before it becomes a class action lawsuit?
There is no set number of people that must be involved in a particular case in order for a case to become a class action. For a class action to be appropriate, the number of injured individuals must be large enough that it would be unrealistic for all the injured parties to actively participate in the lawsuit. Oftentimes you will hear of class action lawsuits identified as a result of injuries or death because of a certain drug. In most cases, these situations involve thousands of people in which case a class action is appropriate.
