Sacramento Class Action Attorneys
What Is a Class Action Lawsuit?
A class action is a type of lawsuit in which one or more named plaintiffs sue on behalf of all members of a group who suffered from a common injustice. This recovers damages for the entire group without the need for each member of the group to file an individual lawsuit. These types of cases are vastly more efficient, and economical, than individual lawsuits.

Is It Worth Joining a Class Action Lawsuit?
If you have minor damages caused by a large company’s or corporation’s negligence, chances are that there are many others who have experienced similar injuries. In this case, it is worth your time and resources to join a class action lawsuit.
Some of the greatest potential benefits of joining a class action lawsuit include:
- Minimizing your costs: particularly for those that do not have the means to pursue a case on their joining. All those involved in a class action lawsuit split the costs evenly, which significantly reduces the amount of money each defendant is responsible for contributing.
- Strengthening your case: Additionally, there is strength in numbers. Joining a class action lawsuit gives your claim more power, as it is combined with other similar claims. This is particularly beneficial when defendants are going up against a large corporation with high-dollar lawyers.
- Lowering your risk: Filing an individual lawsuit often costs a ton of money and requires a lot of your time and attention. With a class action lawsuit, there isn’t nearly as much of your time or money required, which means that you can continue on with your life without having to worry about the case.
- Ensuring greater efficiency: As you can imagine, class action lawsuits are far more efficient than thousands of individual lawsuits. The courts only need to litigate and follow one case, which makes things move along much faster.
- Providing consistent results: Class action lawsuits ensure that defendants with similar injuries are treated consistently.
