There are two class action lawsuits that I would like to talk about today. One is brought by a woman who is suffering from breast cancer. Her medical bills have run out and she is in constant pain. Her case has been turned into a class action lawsuit because of the lack of doctors available for her to choose from. No one will give her the money she is asking for because insurance companies do not want to cover the cost of this treatment.
The other case is a man who was arrested on suspicion of being involved in a drug ring.
He was taken into custody and ultimately found to be guilty of all ten charges against him. Because he could not post bail, the court set his bond at five thousand dollars, which is very expensive for him. Because of his situation, he is unable to pay the amount and is now facing a life sentence. Class action lawsuits have been filed for his compensation.
When you hear the words “class action”, do not think that it means that a huge number of people have signed up.
Class action lawsuits are not about a lot of people being able to get rich. It just refers to a lawsuit where everyone who is a victim of negligence or similar situation has joined together in one lawsuit. The person who filed the initial lawsuit, usually serves as the plaintiff while the attorneys serve as the defendants.
The purpose of these lawsuits is to provide compensation for the victims.
The reason for the lawsuit to be a class action is to allow everyone a chance to receive monetary compensation. Attorneys are paid based on the results of their work and if the lawsuit succeeds then they will be paid. A successful class action lawsuit provides individuals with the opportunity to get a check from the one who filed the suit. It is also possible to receive more than one check from the same lawsuit.
Many people get a check for approximately 10% of the total compensation that they are entitled to, sometimes less.
Some people have even received checks as much as the entire cost of their tuition for college. Sometimes class action lawsuits settle out of court for a fraction of the award. No matter what the final percentage is, the fact remains that it is good money for people who have suffered financial losses as a result of another individual’s or company’s negligence.
The current class action lawsuit law allows the victims to be compensated for past and future medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and in some cases, punitive damages.
Each of these aspects is designed to provide the victim with a substantial monetary award. There are also lottery payments, home mortgage payments, and child support payments that may be awarded in some cases. Because many of these lawsuits involve personal injury, the defendant often enters into agreements with a reputable and experienced attorney. This ensures that everyone involved gets what they are due.
I’ve made multiple purchases from harris jewelers over a 10 year period and have had to get multiple exchanges because the jewelry was either faulty, discontinued, cheaply made, or fake. I wrote multiple emails claiming that I was paying thousands for watches that ended up being less valuable less durable than fossils watches that only range from 50 to 300. I also was sold some fake diamond earrings by harris jewelers. I used to always wonder how this was allowed to go on for so long. I found out about this lawsuit after going to the mall where id recently purchased a watch from harris jewelers and the store was closed down so I then went online and found out that they were being sued. How do I have my purchases looked at so that I can get a refund for my faulty items?
