What is a class-action lawsuit?

When there are thousands of defective products in circulation, many people can be injured or die as a result of the same defect. When this happens, the victims can join together to file a single lawsuit against the company or person responsible. These lawsuits are called class-action lawsuits.

Despite increased regulation regarding the safety of consumer products, thousands of people are killed or seriously injured yearly as the result of defective products.
