How to Join a Class Action Lawsuit

When a party acts negligently and the consequences affect a group of people who all suffer in a similar manner, that group may be able to file a class action lawsuit. If the group wins the case, all the members of the class action get a portion of the award. There are many different aspects of a class action lawsuit that make it different from a normal lawsuit, so if you are thinking about filing or joining a class action, you need experienced legal assistance.

If you or a loved one has been injured and feel another party was responsible, you may be eligible for financial compensation. If others were harmed because of the same wrongdoing, you may be able to join with them in a legal class action.

Joining a Class Action Lawsuit

Only one person has to actually file a lawsuit for it to be considered a class action lawsuit; however, there are certain situations in which a minimum number of people have to come forward for a suit to qualify as a class action.

Many people believe they have to join a class action lawsuit in order to qualify for a share of compensation. In fact, once the court certifies the case as a class action lawsuit, members don’t have to join, but instead, they can participate by not “opting out.” In rare cases, a suit may be considered an “opt-in” class action where members have to request to join in order to pursue compensation.
