Guest Posted June 14, 2002 Share Posted June 14, 2002 Any Buick owner who was part of the class action settlement for the Rear Brake Calipers<BR>should join in and sue the lawyers who settled the case. My $735.00 claim was settled for $58.24. The lawyers made all the money on this case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketraider Posted June 15, 2002 Share Posted June 15, 2002 As is almost always the case... Ask the localities and smokers who were supposed to benefit from the tobacco industry lawsuit settlements.<P>A sad commentary on modern life, esp since we also have a thread on the kindness of people who obviously still have some core values and haven't been corrupted by the money chase.<p>[ 06-15-2002: Message edited by: rocketraider ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NTX5467 Posted June 16, 2002 Share Posted June 16, 2002 Sounds like there might have been some negotiations to settle the suits and only pay a percentage of the individual claims (dollar wise). Might have also been some "depreciation" issues just as the insurance adjuster depreciates the value of the 5 year old roof when they figure how much they are going to pay against a new one.<P>If you are so moved, I would think there should be a payment schedule that members of the class action should be able to get and/or should have been furnished prior to the settlement. As long as you empower a third party (who's working on a percentage deal anyway) to handle the negotiations, you sometimes have to live with the results whether you like them or not.<P>In some cases, it seems like a "bluff" of sorts as how much will you spend on litigation to get the other $680.00 (approximate) that you weren't paid.<P>Just some thoughts . . .<BR>NTX5467 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
