How much could I get?

If all Class Members make a claim, after deducting legal fees payable to Class Counsel (plus other approved expenses), Class Counsel estimate that Class Members may get 50% back. For example, if you paid $500 in retainer fees, you would get $250 back. This is only an estimate. The actual amount depends on how many Class Members make a claim. More about payments.

You do not have to pay anything to make a claim. Compensation will only be paid if the Court approves the settlement.
