co-plaintiffs

Fellow legal accusers

Co-plaintiffs are two or more parties who jointly bring a lawsuit against a defendant, sharing the role of plaintiff in the same legal action.

They typically have related claims arising from the same incident or set of circumstances, such as multiple victims of a defective product or several business partners alleging breach of contract.

The co-plaintiffs filed their class action suit against the pharmaceutical company.
