According to The Associated Press, it has become a trend to settle class action lawsuits by doling out coupons instead of cash.
Take the a href=http://www.rkallp.com/specialty_areas.htmlclass action lawsuit/a regarding the Ford Explorer rollover issues, decided in California recently. The lawyers were paid millions of dollars. Everyone else involved seemingly got some tangible benefit — except for nearly all of the 1 million consumers covered by the class action lawsuit filed in their name. None of the consumers got money, only span style=background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; cursor: pointer; -moz-background-clip: border; -moz-background-origin: padding; -moz-background-inline-policy: continuous class=yshortcuts id=lw_1249296138_2discount coupons/span toward new Ford purchases.

Last month, the Supreme Court agreed that the Essex County, New Jersey trial jury participating in a a href=http://www.kellygrouppc.com/john-q-kelly-lawyer-attorney.htmlmedical malpractice/a case involving an infant's brain damage was influenced by discriminatory sources during the choosing of the jury, thus being opposed to the medical professionals involved, as well as to Saint Barnabas Medical Center in Livingston, according to the Associated Press.
The Court ruled that this case requires another trial, since there is no way of knowing who the biased jurors were during this case thus the case requires another hearing before a final verdict can be reached. This was the largest New Jersey a href=http://www.kellygrouppc.com/john-q-kelly-lawyer-attorney.htmlmedical malpractice case/a in the history of the state.

span id=slt_sitespan id=slt_articlep The Salt Lake Tribune is reporting that Lance Starr says he and other immigration attorneys in Utah had heard complaints about The Alcala Law Firm but didn't have evidence until recently of any possible illegalities in how it handled cases./ppBut then two former employees of the Glendale firm asked him last year to review their applications to legalize their presence in the United States, which had been prepared by principle attorney James Hector Alcala but rejected by the government. Starr spotted what appeared to be forged letters verifying that one of them had worked for Mexican employers.span
/span/ppspanThe American Fork attorney -- who had worked for the Alcala firm for less than a year beginning in 2006 and now has his own practice -- knew his former colleague had been living in Utah during the time he supposedly worked in Mexico. Starr felt ethically obligated to report his suspicions to the US Attorney's Office./span
/ppThe evidence likely was included in a federal investigation that resulted in an indictment unsealed Tuesday against Alcala, his law firm, seven current or former employees and a property management company./p/span/span |
