Another Apple Class Action

Nov 17th, 2011 by Project Lawsuit Abuse

Another Apple class action lawsuit has gone into settlement. The damage this time?According to United States District Court documents, those affected will receive $35 to $79, provided they have the original invoice from purchase. The plaintiffs in the class each received $5,000 in the settlement. The lawyers… they collected $3.1 million.

We probably sound like a broken record over here, but the class action system is out of whack.

Class actions continue to roll into California, while trial lawyers collect million in fees and portions of the settlement while class members get measly sums and individuals get coupons.

Class actions in California seem to never end. The state has attempted basic reforms, but they haven’t gone anywhere. Trial lawyers use class actions as a tool to reap millions from companies, while those affected make a pittance. Isn’t it time for the system to change?
