Class Action Settlements: File your claim
Disclaimer : If there are settlements out and there and I bought the products I usually file my claim pertaining to these products. I have gained over a few hundred dollars by simply filling a claim pertaining to my situation or items that I bought. The settlements are a way to get a few extra dollars by filling a claim, from things you may have already bought years ago. All claims may not relate to you, and you do not have to file them if you do not want to. Please be sure to keep integrity when filing claims. below is a picture of a settlement I received through my pay pal account simply for filing the claim.
What are Class Action Settlements?
A class action settlement is reached when both parties in a class action lawsuit have decided that they no longer want to continue litigating the allegations in the class action lawsuit and want to settle the lawsuit, typically with a monetary benefit to the Class.
It’s important to note that a class action settlement is not an admission of guilt on the part of the defendant. In most cases, the company facing the class action lawsuit would rather settle the class action lawsuit than go through the expense and uncertainty of going to trial.
Some companies will spend months or years fighting a class action lawsuit and won’t settle the case until the Class is officially certified by the judge overseeing the class action lawsuit. Other companies will settle immediately if they wish to avoid the negative press that could come with fighting a class action lawsuit or for a variety of other reasons.
Once both the defendant and the plaintiffs tell the court that they agree to the terms of the class action settlement, the judge will typically grant Preliminary Approval to the deal. Once Preliminary Approval is granted, the Settlement Administrator will start notifying Class Members, set up a website for Class Members to follow the settlement, and Class Members can start filing claims, if necessary.
The class action settlement does not become effective—and awards will not be distributed to valid claimants—until the judge grants Final Approval to the deal. Final Approval is only granted if the judge determines that the settlement terms are fair and once all objections (if any are filed) are resolved.
Who’s Eligible?
The two parties and the judge overseeing the case will agree to a clear Class definition, which will determine who is qualified to benefit from the class action settlement.
This will typically state the specific product or service at issue; the dates the product/service was purchased; the state(s) where the product/service was purchased, and any other relevant details. If you meet the criteria defined by the court, you can file a claim to receive a payout from the class action settlement.
here is a recap of the class settlements you need to look out for. If these claims apply to you be sure to file your claim to be compensated.
Filing a Claim & Proof of Purchase
Typically, Class Members will be required to file a claim with the Settlement Administrator if they hope to benefit from the class action settlement. In some cases, Class Members will be required to provide proof of purchase in order to benefit or at least to receive the maximum benefit available.
In some cases, the claim will only require Class Members to provide their information along with an affidavit or signature under penalty of perjury that they purchased the product at issue.
A number of class action settlements recently opened during the month of December for consumers to make claims through January and beyond.
The class action settlements were made to resolve claims revolving around product defects and contamination, false advertising, a data breach and price-fixing, among other things.
A business or entity may agree to a class action settlement as a way to avoid continuing litigation and/or as a gesture of good faith with consumers, while at the same time not admitting to any fault.
