Class Action
Class Action Litigation Attorneys
A class action is a type of lawsuit in which one or several persons sue on behalf of a larger group. A class action is particularly appropriate where individual claims are small and not economical to bring individually. Federal Rule 23 or its state law equivalent governs whether a lawsuit can be brought as a class action.
Some of the factors that Pope, McGlamry, Kilpatrick, Morrison & Norwood, P.C. must consider prior to bringing a lawsuit as a class action include:
- Numerosity – Are there enough people affected by the illegal practice to warrant a class action?
- Commonality – Do the affected people share common legal issues?
- Typicality – Are the claims of the person(s) bringing the suit typical of those of the entire class?
- Adequacy of Representation – Will the law firm bringing the case be willing and able to represent the interests of the entire class?
