Winning these cases are VERY hard. Thanks to the media, people have this silly view that its easy to sue and win when in fact nothing could be further from the truth.

MANY of the things you have talked about are the company just settling since it won't be worth the court costs or they do it as a publicity stunt.

Maybe you don't understand. A settlement is a win vs a dismissal, for the very reasons you said. But in the end, the culture of the industry doesn't change from these lawsuits, unfortunately.

WHatever.

I only know and talk to lawyers on a day to day basis and most often these kind of cases get dismissed. Most people have this ignorant view that people can sue and win at will. It just doesn't happen.

You saying "they probably will win" automatically tells me you don't have a clue what you are talking about.

Most law suits are settled vs going to court. You think that when you sue someone and they settle and pay you millions vs going to court that you've lost? Yeah, some get tossed too but the ones that don't are most often settled.

I don't care if you work with ambulance chasers, so what? Ask them how many cases they take on contingency they know will get tossed out. And ask them if the prefer a settlement over court and if they think a settlement is considered not winning when you are the one getting the money. Geez.

And I've been in a member of at least 3 class action lawsuits that I can recall. All resulted in some type of money or product that I received as the settlement.
