While most class action lawsuits are filed on behalf of product liability claims, other types of cases end up in court, too, including groups of shareholders suing for fraud, employees for discrimination, and residents over environmental disasters.
With a case, which may be filed in either state or federal court, class action has its pluses. Because less witnesses overlap, the trial process inevitably moves along faster, while the overall cost of litigation tends to be lower than for individual plaintiffs filing alone.

Federal courts, as well, may stop class action lawsuits if the defendants are state governments or officials or if the plaintiffs number less than {one hundred,100.
