A lost car title class-action lawsuit will help affected individuals gain compensation for both lost time and money.
In class action cases, the plaintiff is a group of individuals who are collectively represented by one member.
This member acts as the named plaintiff and representative figurehead in the case.
The class representative will be the only person named in the lawsuit, but all class members who are involved receive equal compensation.
Class action cases help leverage collective power to represent multiple people who have been affected.
This is more cost and time-effective and strengthens the case against negligent lenders.
