What Is a Class Action Lawsuit?

A class action lawsuit is a type of legal case where a group of people with similar claims join together to take action against the same defendant. Instead of filing many individual lawsuits, the group is treated as one “class,” making it easier and more efficient to hold corporations, manufacturers, or other responsible parties accountable.

Class action cases often involve conditions such as:

• Defective or dangerous products (such as faulty medical devices, unsafe vehicles, or consumer goods that cause injury).
• Deceptive business practices (false advertising, hidden fees, or unfair contracts).
• Data breaches or privacy violations (loss of personal or financial information due to corporate negligence).
• Environmental harm (toxic chemical exposure, contaminated water, or unsafe working conditions).

By combining resources and legal strength, class actions give everyday people the power to stand up to large organizations that may otherwise seem untouchable.

Do I Need to File a Class Action Lawsuit in North Carolina?

Not every case requires a class action lawsuit. In North Carolina, certain conditions must be met for a court to recognize and approve a class action:

• There must be many people with the same or similar claims.
• The claims must involve common issues of law or fact.
• A class action must be the most efficient and fair way to resolve the dispute.
• The individuals bringing the case must fairly and adequately represent the class.

If you’ve been harmed in a way that others may also have experienced — such as from a defective product, unsafe workplace exposure, or widespread consumer fraud — a class action may be the right path. On the other hand, if your injury is unique or severe compared to others, an individual personal injury claim may better protect your rights.

At Edwards Kirby, our attorneys can review your circumstances, explain your options, and help you determine whether filing or joining a class action in North Carolina is the right decision for you.
