Why do people participate in class action lawsuits?
Class action lawsuits provide several advantages. If many persons have been harmed, the class action allows multiple claims to proceed in court together at the same time, saving time and money and ensuring efficient use of the courts. The class action permits many people with small individual injuries to join forces and combine their damages. The case then proceeds as a class action, allowing them to present a single, unified, economically viable claim on behalf of a class of persons.
