Class actions may have a role in seeking redress among many, for any given outbreak, negligence, or defective condition, under certain circumstances. When there appears to be a typical client group, that is commonly suffering from similar acts or omissions, that is significant in number, it may be appropriate to seek status as a certified class, and that will sometimes be beneficial to the clients who would likely receive some common answers to their common questions. This is often accomplished with a singular complaint and discovery process, per which all elements and matters of proof need not be established many-times over from scratch.
