What is a Class Action Lawsuit

A class action lawsuit can take place when a large number of victim plaintiffs have an identical or nearly identical claim against a single liable party defendant. There are several elements that have to be shown before a class action claim can commence in the court of law. 1. Numerosity – There is a large enough number of victims to make filing a single party claim for each individual impracticable. 2. Commonality – Plaintiffs in a class action lawsuit must have a common or near identical legal or factual complaint against the defendant. 3. Adequacy  of the class head – In a class action lawsuit one plaintiff out of the many who have joined will be identified as a head of the class action and will represent all other member of the class in court. The class head needs to be an adequate representative if the other members and need to have sufficient legal counsel to be able to adequately represent the other members. 4. Typicality – the claims of the plaintiff are identical or nearly identical to those of the other class members.

Should I Join a Class Action Against Nizoral or File a Single party Claim

Class action settlements do not apportion the amount recovered based on the severity and magnitude of the injuries suffered. Instead settlement amounts are usually awarded equally amongst all class members. For example if one class member has suffered injuries amounting to approximately $100,000 and another has suffered a less severe injury amounting to $25,000 the amount both will receive as compensation will be equal.  In these instances single party claims where an injured victim file a personal injury lawsuit in his or her own behalf may be more beneficial.
