Do class action lawsuits help the people or the attorneys more?

    The firm. 

    There is only so much money to go around and those lawsuits have millions of people as a rule.  Well, thousands at least anyway.

    It probably generates publicity for the firm more than anything else.  And it also helps to assist in bankrupting the company that they are pitted against.

  • Very true. Last year I got checks from two different class actions, one for $7 and change, the other was a little over $60. I got a notice in the mail for both that I was eligible for a claim, one I didn't even remember getting the calls from. I filled out the paper work just for sh*ts and giggles....ended up getting a little bit of money. :)

    They help the postal service most of all; what with the mailing out of all those useless notices and those two dollar checks . . .

    It helps the attorneys more because they can do a lot more with the money they get out of it than I can with my check for a few dollars.
