Cheesy, lousy, scum-suckers don’t seem to have it so good these days.
I have a hard and fast rule I don’t EVER claim/redeem class action awards.
If they send me a check (for $2.37 once!) I shred it. If it is a discount code/coupon I don’t apply it or use it.
The “winners” in class-action suits are the lawyers. Even the named plaintiffs usually only get a few grand.
Class-action suits brought us gems such as john edwards (the philanderer, not the cold-reader).
Class action lawsuits only generate revenue for the lawyers and cause raised prices for everyone. The actual plaintiffs get discount coupons or other such nonsense.
I'm still awaiting my reimbursement for my excess premiums paid due to "smokers"....
Those BILLIONS were given to lawyers, and the States used the money for their General Funds, because they were going broke.....
NO CLASS ACTION SUIT EVER compensates victims; then get coupons, or token $$$$, while Lawyers take millions and Billions for their "work"....
Tort Reform can NEVER happen, because FORMER LAWYERS ALWAYS Rule in OTHER LAWYERS' FAVOR, as a way of life.
I don't know who said it, but "first, we shoot all the Lawyers" is a great cliche.
