How hard is this claim to file?
Documents you'll need
Watch out for
- If you do not update your address and you live in the US, a check will be mailed to the address on file sixty days after final approval — an outdated address means a lost check.
- Any prior payments you already received from the defendants will be counted toward your settlement share and deducted from your payout.
- If the prior payments you already received exceed your estimated share, you will receive no additional money and are not required to return anything.
- Submitting a written opt-out request removes you permanently from the settlement and you forfeit your payment.
- By staying in the settlement you release all claims alleged in the lawsuit against the defendants.
We prepare — you file on the official site yourself. This is not legal advice and is not an eligibility decision; the administrator and court decide.
