Re: This is why EVERYTHING is expensive Yes, an alternative legal system where the loser pays and that the class opts in stating on the class action form they get mailed that under penalty of purjury they were damaged as stated in the action, instead of having to actively opt out and mail the letter back if they weren't damaged.
I would be in the "MMS class" but have no interest in suing AT&T and have not be damaged in any way, shape or form. But unless I affirmatively opt out of this class, some blood sucking lawyer gets money from AT&T's customers (since that is where AT&T gets their money) for damage that was never inflicted on me. If I just ignore the letter, AT&T pays out. That's not justice, that is greed, pure and simple.
There are times where corporations actually screw people over, but way too often corporations are victims of extortion thanks to some leech lawyers. If the leeches had to pay out big when they lose an action, they wouldn't engage in this fleecing behavior. If 'the class' and to affirm that they were damaged, a significant number of these B.S. cases would go away. No one's rights are 'taken away' except the lawyers 'right to get rich' for doing nothing other than gaming the system. |
