So I am getting a 10 grand settlement - GoFuckYourself.com

Retributi0n · 12-01-2007, 05:39 AM

I bought this Stove awhile back. Apparently it had some faulty dangerous construction that could cause it to blow up in flames or something.. so some attorneys started a class action lawsuit against the maker on behalf of all who bought it and they settled for like 10 million.. which equals about 10 grand for each person who bought it.

Wow that is freaking aweosme!

Dirty F · 12-01-2007, 05:41 AM

Give me half.

Did you get hurt? If not you're one greedy bastard

fuzzylogic · 12-01-2007, 05:45 AM

not everyone who bought the stove will take part in the lawsuit which will cause your settlement to increase.

so, if you were not hurt you would refuse a free 10k?

Retributi0n · 12-01-2007, 05:48 AM

I didn't even know anything about it. They just sent a letter to everyone who bought the thing... just dumb luck..

L-Pink · 12-01-2007, 05:55 AM

You are getting back the purchase price plus how much for a product that worked fine for you. Granted it's free money, take it. But fuck the sleezy lawyers that started a class action lawsuit.

If consumers were actually injured you should have received at best the purchase price the rest going to injured people.

The lawyers are laughing at everyone. They are getting over 3 mill, lol.

DateDoc · 12-01-2007, 11:47 AM

yup lawyers made the big $$

Retributi0n · 12-01-2007, 11:48 AM

No actually the lawyers don't get more then anyone else gets. It says so in the papers.

I take it you don't understand how class-action lawsuits work.

If he refused his 10k, it only would have meant that everyone else that owned the stoves and was a part of the settlement would have got an extra 10-15 bucks, and he woulda been out the 10k. That's it. That'd be the impact of his noble gesture.

Anyone who actually got _hurt_ would likely have their own settlements, apart from this class action dealio, to mitigate their pain and suffering.

You are getting alot more out of your class action than I got out of mine.

You're not very bright, are you? Defective consumer products do not need to kill or hurt someone before those people are entitled to compensation.

iheartbucks · 12-01-2007, 12:47 PM

awesome!!

VeriSexy · 12-01-2007, 01:02 PM

Nice score!

rapmaster · 12-01-2007, 01:12 PM

yeah good for you... it's not like you started a lawsuit or anything.

And settlements like these are good because they pressure manufacturers to make products that don't kill people

It's a little extra christmas cash, nice.

Xrated J · 12-01-2007, 01:14 PM

lucky fucker

didnt you have to join the class action lawsuit FIRST? They dont just send out checks to people that didnt join it. What if you didnt want to sue the company cause your mammma worked there. OR better yet, YOU WORK THERE.

My bet is, you never see a penny, so dont get your hopes up.

pornask · 12-01-2007, 01:35 PM

Damn, why would shit like that never happen to me
