McGowan, Hood & Felder, LLC
Class Action Lawyers
Class Action Lawsuits permit one or more persons to sue or be sued as representative of a large group of people interested in the same matter or issue. The court where the suit is brought typically has wide discretion in determining whether a class action lawsuit will be allowed to proceed. Certain requirements must be met for the class action lawsuit to survive; for example, the class must be so large or dispersed that joining all individuals would be impractical; there must be questions of law and fact common to all members, and these common questions of law and fact must outweigh any individual questions; and the named parties must adequately represent the interests of their class.
In the United States, federal and most state courts allow class action suits. Such suits have figured prominently in civil rights litigation and in other cases brought to further social and economic reform. In recent decades they have been employed notably by groups of consumers and others seeking to cure harms to society.
