Class Action &
Defective Products
Class Actions vs. Individual Cases
The majority of people today believe that a defective products
class action is a lawsuit filed any time a large number of people
are hurt as a result of the wrong doing or negligence of another.
This, however, is incorrect and often leads to confusion about
the public's legal rights.
Is your claim one that should be tried on its own (prosecuted
individually) or should it be joined with hundreds - potentially
thousands - of similar claims in a defective products class action
lawsuit?
The answer to that question raises practical and legal issues.
In exploring one's legal rights, it is important to consult an
attorney who is knowledgeable about the likelihood that your defective
products case may be involved with a class action or will be prosecuted
individually. Just how best to handle your individual case will
be a matter for you and your attorney to discuss.
