Should I Join A Class Action Lawsuit or File a Single Party Claim: One of the most common questions asked to our attorneys revolves around the advantages of joining a class action lawsuit as opposed to a single party claim. Single party lawsuits are almost always more advantageous to the principle plaintiff (victim being represented). This is because single party claims can be individualized with particular attention paid to the individuals case. Our law firm takes on drug defect litigation only on a single party basis.
