Oh yeah, I know how class action lawsuits work. In 99.9% of these cases the folks that have suffered damages, real or imagined, get a voucher for a loaf of bread or a candy bar and the damned lawyers get millions sometimes hundreds of millions in CASH!! I was an unwitting participant in a class action lawsuit against GM over the exploding gas tanks in Chevy pickups. I didn't file anything or ask for anything, but since I owned one of the trucks I was involved. When it was finally settled I, and everyone else involved, except the lawyers got a voucher for $500.00, but it was only redeemable towards the purchase of a new GM vehicle. So unless you had $15/20 thousand you were not using, or wanted to go in debt for a new vehicle you may not want, or be able to afford, it was worthless. Guess what the lawyers got? Yep, cash, buckets and barrels of cash, if memory serves me correctly something on the order of one hundred five million dollars. Why do you think these slimeballs are advertising every day on television trolling for more clients? If you have been injured, think you have been injured, know someone who may have been ijuured by....fill in the lawsuit dujour here...call the law offices of.........makes me want to puke. If you want to talk about greed here is where the real greed starts and ends.
