Questions about class action settlements.

You file on the official, court-approved settlement website, which is named in the settlement notice and linked from each of our settlement pages. Most claims take a few minutes online, and some can be mailed. Check the deadline and whether you need proof of purchase before you start.

No. Filing a claim in a class action settlement is always free. If a website asks you to pay a fee, or asks for your bank login or full card number to file, it is not a real settlement site.

Check that the settlement website matches the one named in the court-approved notice or the court record, and that it does not charge a fee. Every settlement we list has been checked against the official settlement website, the court docket, or an agency order, and each page lists its sources.

Settlement administrators send notices to people whose names appear in the company's records as possible class members, such as past customers or people whose data was exposed. A notice means you may qualify. It does not mean you were sued, and you usually do not have to do anything unless you want to file a claim, opt out, or object.

If you are a class member and do nothing, you are usually bound by the settlement and give up the right to sue separately over the same claims, but you may get no payment unless payments are automatic. Filing a claim, opting out, and objecting each have their own deadline.

It depends on the settlement terms and how many people file. Many consumer settlements pay a few dollars to a few hundred dollars per person, and payments are often reduced pro rata when many people file. Each of our settlement pages reports the payout tiers and any estimate from the official sources.

Yes. Reading the site, signing up for settlement alerts, and the case review are all free. You are never obligated to hire anyone.

No. We are an attorney advertising and case connection service. We are not a law firm, a lawyer referral service, or a settlement administrator. We do not give legal advice, evaluate claims, or recommend any lawyer.

No. You file settlement claims yourself on the official settlement website. We never file claims, never collect claim information, and never charge a fee for anything related to a settlement.

Participating attorneys and law firms pay us flat advertising fees to be connected with people who request a case review. They never pay us a percentage of their fees or a share of any recovery. Settlement administrators and the companies being sued pay us nothing.

If you consent, one or more participating law firms or their agents may call or text you about your potential claim, and your information may be shared with or sold to those firms as our privacy policy describes. We do not give your information to unrelated marketers. Reply STOP to any text to end texts.
