Class Action Law is a set of laws that govern the rights and remedies of a large group of individuals when the group resorts to litigation. Class-action lawsuits aggregate a large number of individualized claims into one representational lawsuit. Class-action lawsuits have been brought against car manufacturers, insurance companies, toy makers, and tobacco companies, among others.
