Do I get paid if I'm just a class member?

Yes, if you submit a claim and the case settles or wins. Lead plaintiffs typically receive an extra service award.

How long do class actions take?

Often 2–5 years from filing to distribution.

Is there a cost to join?

No. Class actions are contingency — the defendant pays fees and costs from the settlement fund.
