Our staff monitors class action settlements and new class action court filings, and updates our litigation case files daily to reflect settlements, newly identified complaints and other pleadings, including those involving securities fraud or violation of antitrust, ERISA, price-fixing, or consumer protection laws. We endeavor to keep our information, our recently filed class action cases and our recently settled class action cases up to date. In addition, Class Action World maintains a message board where issues impacting class action litigation, product safety, product recalls, mass torts, tort reform, class action regulation, trial lawyers, class action settlements, antitrust issues, consumer class actions, securities class actions and other class action related topics may be discussed. Class Action World also maintains a law firm rating area which enables you to provide feedback regarding your experience with a specific class action attorney or a specific class action law firm.

Unclaimed cash is an annoyance to the courts, and unclaimed cash is a very real issue for the claim administrators and disbursing agents who are charged with the responsibility of distributing class action settlement money to harmed individuals. With each passing year, the aggregated total of unclaimed cash that was earmarked for distribution from class action settlement cash escrow accounts increases. This occurs because the intended recipients of the class action settlement proceeds did not know that the unclaimed money was waiting for them and, therefore, they failed to fill out a claim form upon settlement of the lawsuit. By providing timely class action settlement information and access to settlement claim forms, Class Action World hopes to reduce the incidence of unclaimed cash.

It is assumed that most visitors to Class Action World will be interested in learning about a settled, contemplated, or pending class action litigation matter, because they were personally injured in some manner. However, not every class action lawsuit is meritorious. For example, defense counsel may raise a convincing argument that the injury cannot be directly linked to the actions of the defendants, and that they are due to circumstances or other factors beyond the control of the defendants. In this regard, in the performance of their duties, defense counsel may provide information regarding a host of issues which may add new dimensions of understanding or clarify certain facts bearing on the class action lawsuit.

Class Action World believes that a balanced presentation of the issues present in any class action litigation is important. It enables one to assess the merits of the claims set forth in a class action complaint, and the reasonableness of a given class action settlement. Class Action World, therefore, welcomes the views and comments of defendants' counsel.

Registration is free, simple, and takes only a few minutes.

If you are interested in participating in any of the foregoing class action matters, please send your contact information and a brief description of your injury (personal, monetary, or both) to consumeraction@classactionworld.com. We will forward your email to a class action law firm that, in return, will agree to furnish case related documents for posting on Class Action World. This will enable you and others to monitor the progress of the class action litigation.

Note that Class Action World does not take any position on any class action, and Class Action World does not offer opinions or advice on any class action. Moreover, Class Action World is not associated with any law firm and receives no compensation for its referrals. All law firms receiving certification forms or plaintiff contact information from Class Action World are selected solely based upon the following criteria:

• Prior experience. For example, if the class action involves a failure to pay overtime, Class Action World will search for law firms that have previously litigated this issue.
  
  
• Cost Mitigation. For example, if the current class action involves a New York company, Class Action World will search for law firms in the New York region in order to minimize the amount of the attorneys' reimbursable (from the class members' settlement fund) air travel, hotel, and other costs.
  
  
• Prior Results. We evaluate prior class action settlement results (weeding out those law firms who, in our view, favor quick small dollar or coupon settlements in order to collect a quick legal fee).
  
  
• Attorney Fees. We weed out those law firms whose fees we consider to be excessive in relation to the benefits to members of the class.
  
  
• Use Of Experts. We weed out those law firms using in-house "experts" (to generate incremental law firm revenue) as opposed to hiring the most qualified outside experts.
  
  
• Law Firm Size And Case Load. We have observed that the size of a law firm does not ordinarily matter (there are numerous small law firms that do outstanding class action work), although its case load does matter. We, therefore, assess the law firm's class action case load to evaluate whether or not the law firm will be able to properly and expediently litigate the new class action matter.
