What do you think about answer?

"...According to our text this week on pg. 412, the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (FRCP) provide for potential victims in certain cases to file class action lawsuits that cover all individuals affected the same injurious incidents. One of the strengths of class actions lawsuits are they they are cost effective: they allow multiple individuals to bring suit against another with a lower cost per head, since most people might not bring suit against a large corporation based on the high cost of individual litigation. Larger corporations that are defendants in class action lawsuits are often made to pay out large sums for damages, which will correct bad behavior or bad products that have gone to marker. One of the criticisms against class action lawsuits is that they are ripe for abuse and frivolity. Many times litigants don't get an equal share of the damages, or get little to nothing in damages once the case is determined and the lawyers get their share.

I believe that class action lawsuits should be limited and restricted. I think that top-limit caps on total damages is an effective way to prohibit class action abuse. Another way that I think serves as a way to limit abuses, is the "opt-in, opt-out" method. A few years back, I was automatically asked to either opt-in or opt-out of a class action suit against Apple, because I owned a certain model of iPhone before December 2017, and its related performance issues. The class action suit was for between $310M-500M depending on the amount of litigants who joined. Anyone who chose to opt-in, was entitled to roughly $92 in cash settlement..."
