While most class action suits are filed for product liability claims, other types of cases end up in court, too, including groups of shareholders suing for business fraud, employees for discrimination, and residents over environmental disasters.

On the other hand, these types of cases do tend to have drawbacks. Before the class action even moves forward, the prosecuting group must be named as a class. Federal courts, as well, may conclude class actions if the defendants are state governments or officials or if the plaintiffs number less than {one hundred,100.
