Plenty of people file product liability claims. However, some choose to opt into a class action lawsuit if they discover that a large number of people shared their defective product experience. A defective product attorney group generally represents multiple people, even thousands, who suffered injuries from the same product. If recoverable damages for one person are minor, but many people suffered injuries, a class action suit may be the way to go. This increases the potential value of the suit. Generally, consumers with highly severe or unique injuries do not pursue class action suits.
