Why Class Actions Matter
💰What would you do with an extra $664?
Let's dive into why class actions matter and how activism can help pad your wallet.
So you’ve heard of them, but WHY do they matter?
🕦 Yeah, they take a little time.
😅 Yeah, they take a little effort.
🔄 Yeah, they require a little patience waiting for your check…
But would you go a little out of your way to pick up $5 on the sidewalk? If you would, we’re looking for you! In most cases, that’s the same effort as it takes to file your claim but typically with a much better return.
We make it easy to find your claims, file your claims, and bring you more cases that you can claim — that’ll definitely add up over time.
$664… that’s an oddly specific, isn’t it?
Yeah, it is. Some people say, “filing your class action claims isn’t worth it.” Or they may say, “they don’t matter.” Well, let’s take a look back at a few recent cases and see if that’s true.
If you filed for:
2️⃣0️⃣1️⃣7️⃣ If you filed for the Uber TCPA case, you could’ve received ~$127
2️⃣0️⃣1️⃣8️⃣ If you filed for the Target Flushable Wipes case, you would’ve received ~$22
2️⃣0️⃣1️⃣9️⃣ If you filed for the Bertolli Olive Oil case, you would’ve received ~$20
2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣0️⃣ If you filed for the Wells Fargo Unauthorized Accounts case, you would’ve received ~$100
2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣1️⃣ If you filed for the Facebook Biometric Privacy case, you would’ve received ~$345
2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣3️⃣ If you filed for the Facebook Cambridge Analytica case, you likely will receive ~$30 (in process)
2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣3️⃣ If you filed for the Instagram Biometric Privacy case, you likely will receive ~$20 (in process)
Add that up, you’re looking at ~$664… not bad for about 30 mins of effort. That’s a better hourly rate than I make!
What if I’m not in it for the money?
Well, beyond those paychecks, am I really making an impact?
Many people wonder about this, especially when they see that individual payouts may appear modest when compared to the overall settlement headline figure ($5M, $100M, $5B, etc. etc.). However, even though the financial benefit for each individual may seem minor, the cumulative effect can be significant. Class action lawsuits not only offer compensation to those affected but also frequently result in changes to laws, regulations, or corporate behaviors, ultimately benefiting society at large.
So whether it’s getting back your ~$664 one chunk at a time or you’re in it to make positive waves, class actions seem worth it to us, which is why we’re here.
Now What?
