I've been involved in about 2 dozen class action suits and never by my choice. They've usually been situation where some company was making pennies or even a couple of dollars a year from each customer and some lawyers want the money back.
The lawyers usually file the claims on our behalf unless we complete a form to NOT be in the claim. Then take thier share (about 60% to 80%) and distribute the rest but only to those that complete a 5 page form.
I don't know how many times I could get between 68 cents and 4$ if I just took 2 hours going through my files so that I could fill out that 5 page form.
Of course the lawyers always make $1,000,000 and the people get squat.
