What is a class action settlement?
Class action lawsuits provide groups of people, or “classes,” a way to band together in court.
These lawsuits are often brought by one or a few people who allege that a company or other entity has wronged a large group of people.
When a lawsuit becomes a class action, it extends to all “class members,” or people who may have complaints similar to those who filed the lawsuit.
Companies often settle class actions—offering payment to class members who typically waive their right to pursue further legal action by accepting money.
These payment agreements often include statements from the defendant denying any wrongdoing. Companies tend to settle class actions to avoid the costs of further lawsuits.
Pollution, discrimination, or false advertising are some examples of what could land a class action lawsuit on a company's doorstep.
