If you’ve watched any TV lately you’ve seen the Camp LeJeune class action attorneys who are inviting you to join their class action lawsuit. This is a scam. The only people who win in a class action suit are the attorneys who scrape off about 30% of the settlement amount plus an excessive hourly rate for their billed hours. The damaged/harmed individuals usually get a very small dollar amount in exchange for giving the digital “ambulance chasers” their support. If you are one of the harmed victims either seek out an attorney on your own or accept the medical care afforded by the Veterans Administration as your only compensation. Each case must stand on its own merits and you will be entitled to whatever based on your degree of injury and lost wages. If anything, a successful class action suit should provide a precedent for an individual’s follow up suit. Yes, the class action lawyers will tell you they want justice and they want to pursue the class action to force corrective action by the perp. But, corrective action was already in the works because known flaws in any system are repaired to avoid just this kind of liability in the future. Be smart. Let the class action pave the way for any legal move you make.
