The typical class action lawsuit involves a situation where a large group of people is injured by the same conduct. There are four primary types of class action lawsuits:
- Consumer Class Actions: Consumer class actions are generally brought when consumers are injured by a company's systematic and illegal practices. Examples include underpayments on insurance claims, illegal charges on bills, illegal penalties for late-payments, and failure to comply with consumer protection laws.
- Securities Class Actions: Securities class actions are typically brought on behalf of a group of investors who have been injured as a result of improper conduct, such as misstating earnings, concealing or misrepresenting risks, or otherwise engaging in activity detrimental to investors.
- Product Liability/Personal Injury Class Actions: Product liability and personal injury class action lawsuits are generally brought when a defective product, such as a drug with harmful side effects, or a large-scale accident such as a chemical spill, harms many people.
- Employment Class Actions: Employment class actions lawsuits are typically brought on behalf of employees of a company for violations of the Labor Code, such as unpaid overtime, failure to provide breaks, as well as claims ranging from safety violations to workplace discrimination.
