Have you ever been a successful plaintiff in a class-action lawsuit? Those fries are worth more than you would have gotten.
Resident of Illinois here, I got $450 from Facebook, and $100 from Google for Biometric violations.
I got $600
I got several thousand dollars from HSBC in a class action suit.
I got $4 from Target
Yeesh, all the Americans in this subthread getting 3 or 4 figures back from suits. Us canucks get like, $12 per.
I got $29 from the Intuit class-action suit. Yay. Pretty sure they charged more than that when I submitted my taxes that year. I was dumb.
I'm an American who once got $6 in a class action suit.
Most I ever got back from a class action was $70. In a settlement where the defendant was fraudulently overcharging for their product by hundreds of dollars.
The meagre payout didn't cover the amount I was overcharged by (by then I didn't care anyway) and the class action settlement was little more than a slap on the wrist for the billion dollar corporation because they earned more in the process of defrauding people than they lost in the payments.
Only one I've ever been involved in I got 1000+ £
