Yeah there are some good and bad things about class action lawsuits.
Yes, they take a long time. But depending on how big the lawsuit is and how much damages you have, how many parties are involved and people paying the retainers all play a factor.
Usually lawsuits like this goes to arbitration, if it went to trail, I personally think it would be better (have 12 average people seeing how we are being taking advantage of and just trying to make a living to support our families. I think they would side with us than these big corporate companies stepping on the little people).
Yes the lawyers make a killing off of it (typical 30-40% they collect if they are going off of a contingency) But other factors play a part (how much retainer you put down, helping with research, etc..)
Then course the conditions of the arbitration. The binding conditions of the outcome between the parties for appeals, etc.
Just my 2 cents
