What Is a Class Action Settlement?
A class action lawsuit allows a large group of people who have experienced similar harm to join together in a legal case. When the company settles, the affected individuals—called class members—receive compensation in exchange for waiving further legal action.
Settlements like these offer a way for people to get justice and financial compensation for various grievances, such as auto-renewal issues, data breaches, or consumer protection violations.
