A class action lawsuit is related to a defect or danger in a product or related to an issue in which many people may have suffered the same injury or other problem flowing from one activity. A class action is filed like any other lawsuit, except that the class has to be established in order for each of the potential plaintiffs to participate. Usually this means the class action lawsuit has two distinct parts. In the first part of the lawsuit the class itself is defined, meaning the actual plaintiffs entitled to sue for damages is established. In the second part of the class action lawsuit the court or jury determines whether there is liability and what the damages should be. If the class action is successful, or a settlement is reached, usually all the people in the class receive a damage award.
