i’m watching a show (htgawm) and a character is filing (or making, idk) a class action lawsuit suit.
In: Other
Say a company accidentally sprays a small town of 30k with chemicals. Everyone in the town needs to sue the company for damages. Instead of each person filing a lawsuit for a total of 30,000 lawsuits, they join together to become a “class” and they file a single lawsuit on behalf of everyone affected.
Saves everyone time and money, but as someone else mentioned, the lawyers typically walk away with the lion’s share of the money and each member of the class gets a few bucks.
