Legal Question in Personal Injury in New York

I have six plaintiffs and all want to sue the same two defendants. I want to group all the plaintiff's in one complaint. Do I have to do complaints within the complaint for each plaintiff even though all the causes of actions are the same for each plaintiff? Just seems a waste of trees to be so redundant. Couldn't I name all the plaintiff's and then "collectively" call them the "plaintiffs"? Writing from New York

Each plaintiff has a separate cause of action and should be stated as such and demand should indicate same at the end of your complaint.

Each plaintiff may share a common set of facts against each defendant jointly or just one individually. Either way, preparing the summons and complaint will not be a difficult task for an experienced attorney. May I ask what the cause(s) of action are? For an absolutely FREE consultation please feel free to contact me to discuss what your legal options are and for the best way to proceed. Also, be aware that different causes of action have different statute of limitations so be sure you file before your time runs out. You may contact me at 347-702-4133 or by email at [email protected] to discuss your case for FREE. Best of luck and hope to speak to you soon.
