Class Action Lawsuits and Class Action Defense Attorneys           

 

Individuals who receive notification of a class action lawsuit have a limited period of time to opt out of the "class" pertaining to a specific suit. Those individuals who do not opt out in a timely manner may automatically become members of the class and their rights to recovery may be limited by the final result of the class action lawsuit.

 

Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 23(a) states the prerequisites for the maintenance of a class action lawsuit. The rule states:

"One or more members of a class may sue or be sued as representative parties on behalf of all members only if:

 

            (1) the class is so numerous that joinder of all members is impracticable,

            (2) there are questions of law or fact common to the class,

            (3) the claims or defenses of the representative parties are typical of the claims or                      defenses of the class, and

            (4) the representative parties will fairly and adequately protect the interests of the                        class."

 

If you are a business facing the potential of multiple claims, a class action certification could be advantageous or disadvantageous, depending on a number of factors including the potential number of claims and the likelihood of liability exposure for such claims.
