In a class action, a group of plaintiffs joins forces to bring a single legal action against a defendant. Class actions are especially attractive in product liability cases.

They have certain advantages:

•They are efficient and save money because there is just one case to prepare.

•They are fair. If a defendant has limited resources or insurance, a class action ensures that all plaintiffs get a share of any compensation granted.

•They can change the behavior of a defendant. A large number of people who experienced harm individually may want to bring a claim for the common good.

•They allow stronger cases to carry weaker ones.

•Often, plaintiffs are more likely to succeed as a group.
