This larger group is referred to as \u201cthe class.\u201d In order to bring a class action lawsuit, the issues in dispute must be shared by all of the individuals in the class, and the number of individuals affected has to make it impractical to litigate each case individually. Some examples of class action lawsuits are those brought by consumers for defective products, by patients prescribed a drug with side effects that were not disclosed, and by individuals whose communications were recorded without their knowledge.<\/p>\n<p>Class action lawsuits are intended to allow individuals to receive compensation for acts committed by large, powerful companies, since\u00a0the individuals may not have the means to bring a claim on their own. The lawsuits also allow the defendant to defend one lawsuit rather than defending a number of smaller, separate lawsuits.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Class Action Lawsuit Against Royal Caribbean<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A recent class action lawsuit was filed against Royal Caribbean after passengers\u2019 dreams of an idyllic cruise turned into a nightmare. According to a news <a href=\"http:\/\/www.insurancejournal.com\/news\/national\/2016\/03\/01\/400134.htm\" target=\"_blank\">source<\/a>, passengers on the cruise expected to go on a seven-day cruise from New Jersey to the Bahamas and back. However, after three days, the ship came back after enduring severe weather with 125-mile-per-hour winds and 30-foot-high waves. For about 12 hours, passengers were required to stay in their rooms. Some said they had to hold onto their beds or other items to keep from falling. According to some passengers, furniture was knocked over, there was broken glass across the ship, and water rushed through areas of the ship. At least 4,000 passengers were on the cruise. Passengers were given a refund and a certificate for half off a future cruise. The company said the storm was much worse than expected.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.molllawgroup.com\/blog\/class-action-lawsuit-filed-royal-caribbean-stormy-cruise\/#more-571\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading \u2192<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A class action is a type of lawsuit in which an individual or individuals sue on behalf of a larger group of persons.
