Class Action Settlement Calculator
Members either receive a pro-rata share (equal split) or a claims-based share (proportional to individual damages), depending on the settlement agreement.
Opting out preserves your right to sue individually. This makes sense only if your individual damages far exceed the class share — typically only worth it for large individual losses.
Courts typically approve 25–33% of the settlement fund for attorney fees, plus expenses.
In most class actions, yes — you must file a valid claim form by the deadline. Some settlements automatically pay all class members.
Missing the claim deadline typically means you forfeit your recovery and lose the right to sue individually once the settlement is final.
